RP Members, Connections, and Friends I believe there are some really outrageous nicknames that have been handed out to some of you when you served in the Military. Lets' get them out there and don't be embarrased. Please share! This is one of those Posts that just keep giving over time. RP Members keep adding your nicknames.
Don't leave us hanging - share the story behind the nickname too!!
One of my many was: "Burly" and when I was a PFC/E-3 it was "Horse Collar!" Others I can't repeat from Basic Training - use your imagination!

Nobody could pronounce my last name so Mac, mike,and a few select names I won’t put on here. Later In my career due to my occasional rather exuberant, let’s call them motivational talks, I got the nickname Betelgeuse. I rest my case...

I flew as Ben Dover with Hugh Jardon. Sorry you asked? As it turned out our F4 tail number was 269. Sorry, now? :)

When i was a private in my first unit in the 82nd, my squad leader called me "Tony". He said i reminded him of his late brother. It was ok with me, it was a great connection.
