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

My Nick name was Rat! It was because I was the smallest one in our platoon and would fight ferociously!

I acquired the nickname of "Lippy" as my last name was Lippincott.

Combat hvy

I actually wasn't given a nickname in the military. My mom gave me my nickname, which is Gus. But it wasn't until the military that anyone called me Gus besides my family. Most people that knew me in uniform, knew me as Gus. Very few actually called me Hillary. My husband hates it, but he has learned to deal with it.

E3.. SgtMaj and Officers started calling me Little Speed. I took the role of my Gunny. My last name started with little and his speed. It was excepted through out the company. Lol better than radar! My new nickname is I.T. In the OR at the West La VA Hospital. I work in Logistics but my back ground is Technology.

My Drill Sgt in basic called my "Alphabet" because he always screwed up my name. That nickname followed me through 2 tours in Korea and Ft. Hood Tx

LAC. what do you lack?

I got the name, "Gadget" (Ft. Benning) after the cartoon, Inspector Gadget. I absolutely had to have the latest electronic gizmo as soon as it came out. I was already into CB radios, World Band Radio and Police scanners but I always bought stuff and also tinkered with the goodies (yes, I owned a few soldering irons). When the small B&W pocket TV's, I had those as well. Later in life, I always carried an ALF (Alien Life Form) plush in my flight helmet bag (Hawaii). When flying, I had it clipped to the aircraft wall so anyone who would see it, even from a distance, knew I was the Crewchief on the aircraft. By then, I was known as ALF which is why I eventually had ALF stenciled to the tail boom stinger cover.

Cherry strong nuts....carried a 5 drawer security safe up 8 steps on a dolly by myself in 2001. It was great.
