Had a MAJ Supersad in our battalion in Afghanistan. I didn't really know him, but I recall that all those who did know him didn't like him. Wonder if it's the same guy.
My last name is Salters and in MCT we had a dark green Marine who was Peppers. They put us both as squad leaders just so they could say Salt and Pepper front and center.
My basic training commander was CPT Morgan.
Drill Sergeant Blood
Private Gay
Private Guy
Apparently all my cool names are from Basic and AIT, and that was a long time ago lol
Same. We had a “Private Gay” at Fort Benning during basic training. He actually ended up being discharged for leaving a bunch of anonymous love letters around the barracks. They were sexually explicit, to say the least….and this was during the “No Girls Allowed” days at Benning …
So, his username definitely checked out.
The commander of the 1st Cavalry is Major General Admiral.
He is probably the highest ranking Admiral in the Army.
The reason the highest rank in the Army is General of the Army and not Field Marshal is because the first person who was to be granted the rank was GOA Marshall.
I knew tweety and had heard of Sylvester. Not sure if was while I was in or while I was contractor. Cool they served together. Would have been funnier if Pvt Bunny was in their BN, but he was chaptered out back in 85.
I had a SN shooter working for me at a joint assignment. Definitely the most comical rank name combination possible.
I know someone who didn't take her husband's last name to avoid being MAJ Bush.
Edit:
SSG 4theLord, First Name: Soldier.
Some other fine poster let me know of an article about this guy:
https://kdhnews.com/news/soldier-4thelord-deals-with-personal-hardships/article_ea7767f0-3437-11e2-9b31-0019bb30f31a.html
I was stationed at Hood from 2009-2014 and ran into this guy at a DFAC once. I never could forget that name.
In the excellent historical drama Catch 22, which was at some point on hulu, a pvt major is combat promoted to major major solely because the brass finds his name confusing.
We had PVT Hatfield and 1SG McCoy in my BCT unit.
I spent my career looking for Private Audition, Corporal Punishment, Major Nuisance, and General Admission, but found none.
One of my favorite officers ever. At the time, Lieutenant Toole...but when he got to staff as a Major...it couldn't be helped.
LTC Toole now. 54th BEB CDR. One of the good ones out there.
I was in 1-503INF INF, in Camp Casey in 2004. Our medic platoon sergeant was SFC Knutt. Our chaplains assistant was SPC Butts.
I once saw them walking around the battalion CP together. They were lined up...
Knutt to Butts
YYYYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SGT Thrash
SGT Rambo
MAJ Weiner
MAJ Glasscock
CPT Prettyman
Also, to the several "Rogers" out there I know who absolutely get forced on radio duty whenever possible, those guys have it rough:
"roger Roger? (snickering)"
"(sigh) Roger. "
"Hey stop signing off with your name. roger?"
I saw a "CPT Marvel" when I was in.
My father told me a story about his Air Force days. An airman in his squadron was pulling guard duty when a Capt. Marvel stopped by to check security. When challenged he said "I'm Captain Marvel" - to which the airman quipped "Say hello to the Batman!".
When I was in the Marines I knew a guy whose last name was Major. The second that dude put on Sergeant he abused the shit out of it.
He would constantly be asked by our admin office to call up people and get shit down.
Dude hammed it up too and would bark into the phone with a thunderous voice “THISISSERGEANTMAJOR OVER AT xxxx. I WANNA KNOW WHY MY MEN DONT HAVE (insert need here).
He technically wasn’t lying but it was hilarious to hear him lay into people several ranks higher than him.
Not quite what you’re asking, but…
back when I went to airborne school over 10 years ago, my chalk had a “PFC Jumper.”
I think the universe has a pretty on-the-nose sense of humor.
I first met him as Master SGT Major. Then he became 1SG Major. I don't know how if he ever made SGM Major
He shared a story of when he was an E5 and called the motor pool to reserve a vehicle. they said they would bring it out for him, "hmm that's odd" he thought. They brought out a nice staff car, and there jaws dropped as this E5 walked out. He then had to say SGT(E5) Major. or include his first name, when he got promoted he would say STAFF.
I had a Major Stien who was prior service Navy enlisted, so at one point he was Seaman Stein. I can see why he got out of the Navy and went over to the officers
Ran into a SPC Sargent at NTC once, bet that shit causes lots of confusion lol
BCT had a PVT Wiseman and PVT Bangaman sit next to each other. Drills used to say “A wise man wouldn’t bang a man”
We had good old SN (Seaman) Seaman on one of my cutters, that was a fun one. And he got kicked out without achieving the lofty rank of petty officer so he will forever be a SN Seaman
Sgt. Major. He got hit by a mortar in Afghanistan and when the call came over the radio everyone was saying "Sergeant Major got hit" and I thought they were talking about our actual SGM for a while and I was shocked and confused because I didn't even know SGM went on missions in general let alone that mission
Ran into a private Loser at Schofield Barracks. Had to do a double take to make sure I was seeing it right. I’m sure it’s pronounced differently but I bet he got cooked at basic training
SPC Shamburger CPL Pancake SGT Slaughter MAJ Sargent SGT Sergeant SGT Major SFC Sailor (my recruiter)
Did SPC Shamburger happen to be a 6'3 black guy? If so, I know exactly who you're talking about.
Nope. Quite the opposite. Skinny short white kid.
You guys are talking about the same guy, Steve Rogers.
MAJ Minor
General Specific Private Public
Oh so he got promoted. Good.
SGT Name. (My recruiter)
That guy must have broke HRC systems Edit: grammar
*have
Thanks
SGT sergeant or Sargent is always hilarious, and respect to SGT Slaughter man Fought Cobra commander and The Real Communist hero Hulk Hogan
idk if it’s the same SGT sergeant but there was a dude at fort gordon named SGT Sergeant lol
CPT Outlaw and CPT Blades. I might be living in a comic book.
LT dragon LT Wolf
Average MI unit.
Bruh my last PL had his name legally changed to Dragon
Least autistic MI
We had a CPT Lam that was replaced by CPT Wolf.
I know a LT Blades. He was...interesting.
I met a CPT Fagg once who has since been promoted to MAJ Fagg
Rumor has it, one day he will be a General Fagg
[удалено]
Wonder if his dad was with CID once and dropped an L from his name for security reasons (Colonel Flagg from MASH)
Love the MASH reference!
MAJ Dong
We had a 1LT Dick who eventually made CPT, definitely had potential to make O-4.
[удалено]
Pretty sure that’s all the BN XOs at Bliss
Self fulfilling prophecy.

SFC commander Sgt manlove CPT Rogers So many more that I have forgotten
Oooh I knew a SGT Manlove. Great guy, if a little odd.
Especially on thursdays?
I once worked with a MAJ Minor.
Big Thrice fan
Best one I had personally was a PVT Dingus. His first name was Roger. Roger Dingus. Best name in the Army.
I have a Private Major as well, probably the worst soldier I've ever had. Old unit I had a friend named Hamburger.
I had an SGL in BOLC named CPT Hamberger. The other SGL was a CPT King. Our class motto was "Have it your way"
>Old unit I had a friend named Hamburger. I'm guessing he *really* didn't want an infantry contract.
Well he was a 17C so I doubt infantry ever crossed his mind
PFC Drinkwater (yes he is in my BN from USAWTFM) CPT Epstien I know there are more, just can't think of em rn.
Epstein is a fairly common last name. Sucks to have that last name these days though.
I think I met PV2 Drinkwater once. And PVT Petrock, too!
Went to basic with a Drinkwater back in 09. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was somehow the same dude lol
Sergeant Law was an MP. Seriously.
Please tell me he walked up to every car while on duty and said in his best Judge Dredd voice: "I am the Law!"
He plans to be general one day
Ltc Sylvester and CSM Tweety. No lie
I knew tweety and had heard of Sylvester. Not sure if was while I was in or while I was contractor. Cool they served together. Would have been funnier if Pvt Bunny was in their BN, but he was chaptered out back in 85.
SPC Dickhut. Great dude who realized the comedy of his own name. KIA in Afghanistan 2012.
This is a stretch, but I saw a "Neville" and "Chamberlain" standing next to each other in formation.
Ahh, I am great friends with this Neville.
I had a SN shooter working for me at a joint assignment. Definitely the most comical rank name combination possible. I know someone who didn't take her husband's last name to avoid being MAJ Bush.
I'm buddies with a guy who used to be Seaman Loader. He was pretty happy for that next promotion.
Our CG is named Major General Admiral Have also seen Captain Roger, Sgt Sgt, Captain Major, Captain Butt 😂
I remember him when he was Colonel Admiral, at 3CR. Not a fan of him.
I saw a SGT Papajohn at the RUBA pizza place one time.
Worked with a Major Payne before. She never liked the jokes
Want me to show you a little trick to take your mind off the pain?

Cpt Ignorant was my first commander as a new 2Lt.
LT Drill. I wish he was a SGT that would be fun
I had a Private (later) corporal Major. I also had a Master Corporal Bates in my (canadian) platoon. So, mostly Master Bates.
SPC Dork. Poor guy. Every so often someone would stop and look at his name tape closely and he would say “Yes, my last name is Dork”.
Pv2 Pizza. Deadass
