  1. "Nobody has a cool call sign like that" There is military-wide nickname convention of someone's nickname or call sign being their shittiest trait or literally the name of what they do if they are integrated with another unit. Maverick would have been called "Napoleon" for sure. 100%. No doubt in my mind.

  2.  @SirWulfrick  that fits in both the categories of hilarious and dehumanizing so I'm not surprised. Not a callsign, but a hilarious note: In the Navy I met a full bird Captain named Crunch. Now, I'm not implying that he wasn't a great man nor that he did not deserve the rank... BUT. If you had TWO IDENTICAL candidates for promotion: Commander Smith or Commander Crunch, who are you going to promote? "Congratulations, Captain Crunch."

  4.  @binah7744  I think my favorite story was a Navy Ensign being jealous of a Navy Medical Corpsman for being called "Doc" after a few weeks of training when he had to go through years of school to be certified "doctor."
