Whether it is "High Speed," "Hero," or just plain ole' "Troop," what is your favorite or least favorite military pet name?

As a Drill Sergeant, I was guilty of calling all of the Soldiers Joe.

In weather units we were always know by our initials. LRO was on everything it seemed and in our unofficial log book we referred to each other by initials. To say we had a lot of educated people is an understatement. Especially with creativity. Mine being LRO I got the moniker Law Row phonetically pronounced. lol

I always enjoy calling Soldiers "Race Car," simply because "High Speed" is overplayed.

Either that, or I call them "Stud."

"Shipmate."
Always shouted at one's back by some Topside wannabe tough guy who had nothing better to do than sit in the First Class Mess or hang out in the hangar bay and issue "speeding tickets" to people who had more important things to do than spend all day polishing their boots or pressing military creases into their coveralls. You know, because the lights need to stay on, and the screws need to keep going roundy-roundy to keep the pointy end moving forward through the water and the jets flying.

My dog's name is, "Freedom." And, yes, that's an ACU collar she's wearing.

Mine was Doc. Because my 2nd week in Korea I was walking with the other Medics and as the FNG PFC I didn't know what to expect. Then one of the guys I treated yelled Hey Doc! and a Sgt in my section goes hey! and he says not you...him and points at me. That's when I knew I would be alright.

I've Always Liked The Term For First Sargent ...
When Known As; "The 1st Shirt"
To My Mind It'A Loving Term Given With The Highest Of Respect..
Loved Ours In South Korea...
