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!

Because my maiden last name was "Papania" & was only pronounced correctly when I was stationed in Italy. My nickname was "Poppy" or "Sgt P" depending on who was talking to me. Poppy is still with me to this day. If I hear that name I know it is someone from my military pass.

In Basic everyone called me Sid (From Ice age) except the Cadre would call me, "Hey you, uh Cbloski? Broski? Cuhbrowski? What ever your name is" during AIT I broke free from the nickname Sid and was referred to as Broski.
