Any, er, UNIQUE military call signs or "handles" you have accrued?

Not technically a military call sign, but I wanted to join in anyways. I'm either referred to as Monkey, or if we're on scene, sometimes Monk.
 
Shrek, but being Field Artillery that was mild, I even came to like it after some time. Strangely enough, got the same nickname when I reclassed to Aviation, could be because I bear an uncanny resemblance to Shrek.:rofl:
 
Recitos

It's the short version for "recitos de oro" or "Goldilocks" in Spanish. In 2006 I let my hair grow out for 6 months in a jungle environment, and it got not only sun bleached, but also incredibly curly.

In Afghan i had a WITCHCRAFT c/s which was simply awesome. The FAC / JTAC guys were all called WIDDOW, our EOD guys were BRIMSTONE, the Medivac was MORPHINE and our apache call signs were UGLY. there's more but these are the only one's i can think of...

To take that a step further, a numerical identifier is used to identify the user's duty position; ie, the EOD commander would be Brimstone 06, while the Medivac First Sergeant would be Morphine 07. I, on the other hand, used the unofficial numerical identifier for First Sergeants during my operational deployments - 69.

Bear, but mind you this was before it became a term to describe a portion of the gay community.

:censored::censored::censored::censored: bird....for reasons I keep to myself
 
My first week as a brand new 17 year old private I wrote "Born to Kill" on my Kevlar cover. I thought it was pretty cool but not my squad leader and platoon sgt. I got smoked over and over and was known as "born to queer" thereafter until I finally reached e-4.
Lesson I learned as a private was never try and stand out, just STFU and KISS.

Other than that, I was known formally as "White Six Romeo" for a bout a year as the RTO ;-)
 
Awww, shultz.. :rofl: That's kind of cute..

I had some bad names at Redstone.. Casino, Red, Semihole (Seminole), Tee-pee.. You'd think they've never seen an Indian before.

Then I moved back home and got branded as "Lefty".. I had an accident trying to shoot a compound bow left handed. I tore my left ear partially off.. That one stuck..
 
The Phantom Pisser. Lets just say there is a story and a reduction in rank involved behind it...
