What Was Your Nickname or Callsign During Your Military Service? Can You Recall the Nicknames or Callsigns of Other Characters From Your Service and How These Were Earned?:
When I climbed off the Huey on “log day,” I weighed in at 205 pounds and heard the LT. mumble something like “That’s our new gunner”……but it wasn’t to be. “Nope, I’m your new medic!” It wasn’t long before I was dubbed, “The Fat Quack”, not because I was really overweight, but because the rest of the “Grunts” in the platoon looked like they had been in a concentration camp! They were just “skin & bones”.
