I knew a Private First Class Colonel, a Cadet Battle (assuming she later got commissioned and became Lieutenant Battle and perhaps even Captain Battle (not to be confused with Battle Captain), and Sergeant Major (Major was this Sergeant E-5's last name).

I had a couple buddies in Germany with military appropriate names, we were all SGTs so just think of their name with SGT in front; Slaughter, and Major.
It was a kick when Major would answer the phone "SGT Major, how can I help you" and folks would say "oh wrong number and hang up, or he'd call for a piece of equipment and someone would drop what they were doing and haul butt over to the shop and get a puzzled look and say you aren't the Sergeant Major, and he'd tell them he never said he was THE Sergeant Major just that he WAS Sergeant Major.
It was all good fun till someone told The SGM, for some reason he failed to see any humor in it.

Wacker... In JROTC I knew a cadet with the last name Wacker. Since it was Army JROTC she started off as Private Wacker. I don't remember if she made it to being an officer but I think it would be funny to have a Major with that last name.

My favorite are the leftover clones from the cloning program in the 1980's. The Army conducted a cloning program in the 1980's for Infantry Units. Each cloned Soldier was named SGT RIVERIA, I'll bet there are a few left serving now in Infantry Units with that same name. Seemed at least one Infantry Company always had at least one SGT RIVERIA issued. When confronted they would always deny they were a clone and would go off on some long boring explanation on how it was a common last name where they came from.........yeah right, and Army CID doesn't plant spies in units either. :)

When the 9th ID was activated at Fort Lewis, Washington in 1971, I was a 2LT assigned to the Division Headquarters where I met 1LT Marvile and Major Major.

1LT Marvile was promoted and on his first duty day as a new Captain, his wife dropped him off outside the command entrance where he jumped out of the car wearing blue tights with a red cape and oversized Captain bars on his shoulders (tin foil on cardboard about 7" square). As he sprinted toward the entrance and bounded up the stairs, the CG, DCG, and COS, followed by me, came out of the building. As they stepped aside for the Captain and returned his snappy salute, I heard the CG ask, "Who the Hell was THAT?" The COS calmly replied, "That's Captain Marvile, Sir,"

On another note, as a young NCO in the 58th Signal Bn, my platoon sergeant was PSG Fear and the first sergeant was 1SG Love. We used to say that once you felt the Fear you could report to the orderly room and get some Love. The Battalion Commander was LTC Hawk and the Adjutant was CPT Drum.

Nellis AFB, early 2000's, weekend shift POL. Just catching oddball aircraft refuels and sitting on our asses mostly. The phone in the control center rings and "Col. Pancake needed a F-16 fueled on the transient line". (POL is full of jokers and miscreants who are always messing with each other so...) the controller tells him to "flapjack his ass on down and get it himself". We all laugh etc try to figure out who it was. The front door of the building opens. In walks a 6'3" slightly graying man in a flight suit with a name patch Richard Pancake, Colonel, USAF.
He was laughing but we were shitting. Dick Pancake what a character

My mom, who worked as an Executive Secretary for the Air Force told me this true story. There was an Airman Basic named General Jones who called Flight Ops at Randolph AFB, said "This is General Jones" and asked if they had any planes scheduled to go to McCord AFB. Since they thought it was a "General" calling, they created a flight. The next day, this slick sleeve airman shows up. They were all shocked, but since the plane was scheduled, the pilots briefed, and the flight plan filed, they took him anyway.

Saw a 2LT with the last name of America. When he hits 0-3 itll be amazing. Favorite was a guy named Major. When he got his stripes he would try to hang around our CSM whenever he could and get one of his guys to call out Sergeant Major so they would both look. Our CSM got a kick out of it or it probably would have only happened once.

It is protocol (or was) within hospital units to refer to non-Eagled physicians as Doctors rather than by rank to avoid confusion as to who was in charge, since a field grade nurse often worked with Captain docs... you can imagine the ribbing that CPT Love got. Fortunately, MAJ Feelgood was not in the same unit...

Spc Butcher here. I was a grunt. I sharpened knives, etools, anything metal. Carries a knife you could shave your face with. I liked to stare at cherry privates while sharpening something. For hours. Without talking. My knife has been featured in safety briefings. More than once. One guy touched it and needed stitches. In Iraq, I charged 2 packs of smokes to sharpen a knife. Stateside it was $20. I remember when smart phones came out. Bullshitting sitting in the company bay, everybody on their phones. Not me. I'm sharpening shit. Never got smoked for being on a phone.

Once, I was watching a 100% layout in Iraq (our 6th in 7 days), so I was sitting there shapening my Etool. Biggest dickhead SGM I ever had walks up. "Hey there soldier! What are you doing there?"
*snaps to parade rest* "Sharpening my Etool SGM!"
"What are you doing that for?"
"So it's better to kill motherfuckers with SGM!"
"Hooah! Carry on."
Convinced that is the most positive interaction anyone ever had with that man.

Not in the military, but knew a kid named Steven Buttcheese. Played against them in pee-wee football. Over 20 years ago. Only heard it announced over the loudspeaker once. Can never forget. Lol.

Until, of course, you use military format, and you call out the last the last name first, first name last- then he became “John Wayne”! The DS’s kept assigning the poor guy all the tough assignments in BCT and AIT. Unfortunately, my friend lost track of him after AIT, so he didn’t know if the trend to give him tough jobs continued!

The two captains, America and Crazy were to outgoing and incoming OOD one evening. They were performing turnover rounds of all the guard posts. A new PFC on watch at the armory challenged them in the darkness, the two Captiains responded with the password and the young PFC told them to advance and be recognized. They stepped forward and said “Captian America”; “Captain Crazy” - When the Sergent of the Guard got there, the PCF had both Captains on the deck with their hands behind their backs. He thought they were just being a couple of wiseguys f-ing with him.
