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 always had a plan , and always was surprised my target. on foot or otherwise. I broke every record they put me up against, and on my first night in the field in Korea I caught a Korea guy trying break in our camp. I got a impact AAM the next day and nicknamed by the full bird.

I don't remember exactly why or when I got my nickname "STU-BLU", but I believe it was a play on my last name
Stewart ,and my facial expression of never smiling.

SSG Judith R. Cox, nickname "Speedy Edwards". Edwards is my maiden name. I enjoyed sports, especially track and softball. During these sports along with my physical fitness test, I was always consider to be fast in running and completing my 2 mile run at a unbelievable time. I always remained energetic during physical training to go back and help others to stay motivated. So my First Sergeant gave me the name "Speedy Edwards".

My nickname as a PFC and Spec4, was "6 P's" (the abbreviation for "Mr. picky 6 P's"), and it stuck with me until retirement. All of us who served in the Army between Vietnam and Irak are familiar w/ the 6 P's: "Prior Planning Prevents Piss-Poor Performance", right? I'll admit I was a stickler for preparedness, but being prepared always helped me in sticky situations. Also, as an avid scholar of the UCMJ regs, I didn't always make friends w/ senior NCO's & officers attempting to make unauthorized or false decisions by respectfully reminding them of the applicable regs, but in the end I was highly respected by those same officers and senior NCO's for preventing violations/bad results, as well as my ability to quote most of the applicable regs in our unit (lost that ability long ago though-LOL). Regarding my MOS 42E, that was only one of them, as I was one of those few people with multiple MOS's at that time (generally '70's to '90's).
