What was /k/'s military nickname?
>Ol' Man Taylor
Mark the mint man
It wasn't a nickname so much as it was a joke that they beat to death. I enlisted shortly after that episode of South Park with all the gingers, so for four years I heard "you have no soul", and various versions there of. It got a real fucking old, real fucking fast.

Jack Skellington
I was a skinny fuck and tall to boot.
They called me Mallard because I almost ran over a formation of privates that tried to run across the road without posting road guards.
So I stopped my giant fucking HEMTT and the rest of the convoy I was on, opened up the drivers door and started yelling at them and calling them ducks because they moved in a shitty gaggle.
Turns out I was hot miked so the whole convoy could hear me making duck noises to these scared privates so they gave me shit for it afterwards. And I also got yelled at for stopping the convoy, lol.
Man, fuck Ft. Leonard Wood...
Hooch, because no one could pronounce my name.
I like it though, so I can't complain.
first unit I was "Big A" , some sgt in my platoon just randomly started calling me that and it stuck, even the CO and 1SG called me that
PCSed and at my next unit I became "Bad Andy" then this just became "Andy"
My first unit we had two guys nick named Beaner and Taco. Both were hispanic, duh. Even the CO and 1SG called them by those names. Gotta love the Infantry.
Our company supply clerk on my 2nd tour inna Iraq was nick named "Warrior Chang". Korean, spoke with a god awful accent. Guy survived 5-6 IED strikes on log pac runs between our FOB and the BSA FOB
Weeb.
Which makes no fucking sense since everyone else liked anime and manga too... I was just the only one who admitted that I had a waifu and who she was.
In OSUT I was called Cartman.
>>33232758
Nothing, because that would imply I served the state which would be a cowards occupation.
>>33237662
Christ man, you didn't even try.
I didn't have one, but there were two funny ones in my unit: Bobble, a guy whos head was twice the size of a normal humans and our commander Lt.Chew, never saw him without some chewing tobacco in his mouth. The first and last person I have ever met who uses chewing tobacco regularly.

Roy or Quigley, first week I was in my unit we had rifle quals and I shot a 39 out of 40, (to be fair they had just received a batch of brand fucking new M4's for our then upcoming deployment. This was reserves, they had only had beater M16A2's up until then). I got in good with a bucnh of guys for it, one of whom was an FFL with class III licensing... I got to play with a LOT of shit.
>>33233700

I was called the somali, because I'm 6'2 for 75 kgs.
The only nickname that stuck, out of dozen during the years. Strange how some people get one instantly.
My CO called me "whiney neddle dick", supposedly because I looked like some cartoon character that had that name.
According to buddies that reenlisted, he still yells at people that mess up that "that shit would never had happened with corporal whiney neddle dick", so I guess it's how he expressed his affection.

Long story short, first good leave we got (peacetime is a bitch) a bunch of us went overseas and bust every dollar we made in Europe.
I bought a shitload of what I thought was coke, no idea what it was, but it was not coke.
Ran around with it streaming out of my nose for like three days.

"Make-a-wish"

>>33232758
I got three.
Merchant, because I was the guy who actually took some extra smokes and snacks to exercises, bit more than I expected to smoke or eat myself. So I ended up quite often having some to sell to people that are unable plan stuff ahead of. People in nicotine withdrawal were easy to profit from.
Professor, because I as fucking platoon medic got better score from few exams on anti-tank stuff than actual anti-tank guys in anti-tank company. Our instructors kinda chewed everyone else due to that.
Third nickname was my favorite. Other medics at base hospital called me Dr Mengele because I was slightly abusive to skaters who didn't get any sort of service exemptions.

I was 3ID during the invasion. we were the red headed step child of the 18th. When I was in Kosovo in 2001 doing a joint rotation with 101, they used to point to a poster that had all 4 Div patches on it (101, 82nd, 10th, and 3ID) and sing "One of these kids is not like the other..." We had Kentucky long rifles and PVS-7As for most of they guys in my Infantry squad.

Was called this by a few people due to: A. Last name is Morrison, and B. High school photo on my Debit card in which I had long hair similar to Jim Morrison's.
However, it didn't really catch on until our unit had temporary duty in Thailand. Apparently Jim sounds very similar to the Thai word for vagina. So then every single person would call me Jim, all the time, very loudly...
After that I was called Jim for the rest of my enlistment.
Lawrence, or Nazi.
mad dog
no I'm not general mattis
they called me mad dog because whenever I was woken up in my rack to go fix some comms gear issue I would rant incoherently and run around the ship in my underpants and shower shoes while I fixed whatever was wrong

My point is is that it's not uncommon and it certainly doesn't affect your mental and physical capacity to pass requirements and score well on tests.

Scorch because during training I burnt the eyebrows off of an instructor while trying to use a flamethrower

Lucifer. Some hyper Babtist fuccboi found out that my first, middle, and last names all had six letters each. Made a stink over it and I ended up with a nickname over it.
Napoleon. Someone managed to dig up an old highschool photo of me back when I had a jewfro. I looked very similar to Napoleon Dynamite.
There's a few others, but I can't remember them right now.
