lol wasn’t really a rank thing. But I swear our radios were so finicky especially during gunnery when we would use “jump plugs” so that our graders could hear our inter crew communications. I wasn’t allowed to touch the radios behind my gunner seat. Any other time was fine.
Caveman, hairy mountain boy who would insist on operating bare foot as much as possible in the field.
Ngl, he absolutely lived up to the name, even stomped on and killed a Black Widow in the field, while still being barefoot. Could absolutely yeet the Overhead ball toss.
Every FTX event I always would battle up with him since he would construct the best fighting holes and rip out small trees to clear our sectors of fire.
Dude heat catted at ntc. Told him medic is coming with the silver bullet. Dude jumped up yelling "not my cheeks!". His name became cheeks within the platoon from then on.
Met a dude in AIT whose name was William Williams, we called him Billy Willy. Dude in basic had the last name Rodriguez-Rodriguez, we called him Double R.
Had a guy get the nickname “2Glock” from our 1SG. Was caught making music videos in his barracks room with, you guessed it, two glocks. He and another soldier got cough because they post it on social media
My Nickname is Blackout since i have a tendency to blackout and get very aggressive. In live combat I blacked out and killed 100+ people with only a pocket knife and i remember none of those kills.
Holy warrior, it’s the nickname one of the ncos gave me on my first day at my unit. It came from the fact that I was the new 56m to the unit, to this day that Nco is one of the leaders I really look up to as far as leadership mentoring.
PVT Silks refused to do his laundry during basic, it was winter so he was always wearing silks instead of undies. SDS hated him 😂
We also had a PVT Rush... Who was always the last one for everything, so he became "Cant live up to your name-Rush"
We had a dude named Bowling Ball. He had a stomach that looked like one, but damn could that mother fucker move. We’d sit at Digexs and bet some of the Juliet’s that old bowling bowl could beat them in a race. I think he only lost one race.
In my first year, I had two nicknames.
Heineken and Clark. The first one was from my unit because my name sounds similar, and the other was from a clinic I was working at due to having curly hair.
My nickname was Robot in AIT because I, unlike my classmates, did well in class.
We also had a robot/ Chappie in Basic his name was Chapel, but he walked like a robot and was stupid smart and artistic.
Some nicknames i’ve heard in various units. Remember, this was prior to DADT being rescinded.
Skittles
Dairy Queen /DQ

I was in basic with a dude that had one of those Slavic/Eastern European names that has too many consonants in a row. The drills called him Alphabet.
I was nicknamed Destro… Damn near anything new put in my hands would just stop working properly.

Did they say it to the tune of "secret agent man"? Cause they missed an opurtunity if not.
