What nickname were you given when you served in the Military?

I got a nickname that has stuck pretty good with the entire unit I'm in including 1SG and the CPT. Currently I'm known as "halfsack" Now this is by no means a negative nickname, it's quite comical being the background of the story. My first AT in the National Guard came around and in my mind I was thinking it to be a vacation from my civilian job so I had gotten a vasectomy a week before so I'd have the "vacation" to heal up and be good to go when I got back. Boy was I wrong. So day 4 of being in the field with no showers the surgery was notably infected at this point and I ended up telling my SGT and getting pulled out immediately. Ended up spending the rest of AT as a permanent weapons guard at the supply shack and having the at this point dime size hole cleaned out by the medics twice a day no pain meds. Learned a valuable lesson, but on the bright side got a pretty funny nickname for it.

smeagol, no one touches my bottle of Jameson.

I was Fire Chief at Baghdad International and the Victory Base Complex. All over the Air Force Firefighters refer to themselves as "Fire Dogs" On my arrival I gave a little speech that included, "Over here it is not enough to be a dog. Dogs lay on the porch and lick their asses. Here we have to be more, we have to look out for each other and be on our toes. Here you have to be like wolves" So we gave each person a call sign; Wolf-2 Wolf 4, etc. I was Wolf-1. A few weeks later I overheard an airman referring to me as "Chief Crazy Wolf". He turned around and saw me and blushed deep before dropping down for 20 push-ups. When he got up. I thanked him for the push-ups and told him to never call me that behind my back again; that it was the coolest nickname anyone had ever given me. It sticks to this day. I loved my "Baghdad Fire Wolves"!!!

I had two, Gorilla, and Goose. They couldn't pronounce my last name.

My mom would send a box of her friggin awesome chocolate chip cookies. I got the name 'Cookie' after I threatened anyone with jokes about my mom (because everyone does the momma joke thing down range) with excommunication from enjoying them. Not the sexiest of names but it's better than some. I have found troop with names like 'deathface' and whatever "badass" name they are "given" are far from lethal. I served in the 2/75th so it was also about funny shit.

Bean burner due to my ethnic

"Young Patton" because I always wanted to be a tanker and excelled at OBC due to prior experience as an enlisted soldier.

"Navigator" because I knew the terrain so well at Ft. Bragg that I could drive with without NVG's and navigate by looking up at the tree lines between firebreaks to get from one AA to another.

"Lowes" (think home improvement store) while operating as a S4 during deployment I was the "go to guy" for any and all oddball or unique items that were needed on short notice. If I didn't have it I knew where to get it. At one time I had a BN Class IV yard that was better stocked than the BDE, resulting in such envy by the Engineers that they petitioned the BDE CDR to commandeer all my BN's Class IV because they didn't want to admit that they had failed to plan and requisition accordingly.

And of course because of my last name I had a multitude of colorful nicknames during my time as a cadet at The Citadel and while I was a 2LT.

I earned my nick name. I was a medic. I had ambulance experience before I joined the Army. I had only been with the unit less then a week we had an alert. I was an E2 one of the other medics lent me his gear and sent me out with the advance party. Well one of the jeeps rolled over. I treated all the pts with no problem.To me it was just a car accident. I had seen plenty of them in 2 years working on the ambulance. People started calling me Doc right after that.

Brock lesnar cause I apparently look just like him
