This is an example of what we’d call a TED. "Tough Enlisted Dude." Typically shaved head, dark shades, big gym guy, and a rides the motorcycle everywhere. I've also heard of Officers being called "cake eaters". Great stuff. What are the names you use for the different types of people you run across in the military?
