Because I called cadence for our school classes in the morning, I was called mouth. This was when I was at AO “A” School in Jax, Fla.
After thinking about it for awhile, I thought that I would add another nickname I was given. When I was younger I had a remarkable resemblance to Elvis Presley in his youth. I am reminded of a story of when some buddies and I went to a drive theater on Liberty one time. We were walking by the snack bar past a small group of girls, when one of them called out “Elvis?” Naturally, since I was used to answering to that name I responded, “yes!”. She fainted on the spot. I thought it quite humorous.

CPL Dave Hoover, the one that I got during boot camp was "Zipper" I was so skinny, that I got a waver and double rations while in boot camp. The whole platoon hated me. If I stood sideways and stuck out my tongue I looked like a zipper. LMBO

What nickname were you given when you served in the Military? | RallyPoint
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.
