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!

I was a Hospital Corpsman more often with the Marines than not..so what else DOC...I kept that nickname after the service when I went in to doing Old West Re-enactment. Yes Doc..based loosely on Doc Holiday.

Perl or Perly. The nick name came about while I was serving in the Navy from 1978 to 1990 & when I entered the National Guard, It carried over. Short for Perlberg.

Moose! The name still follows me but only in vet small circles. Given to me by a postal clerk at my first command.
