When we took over our MRAP's during inbound RIP/TOA, I took one look at the one I was assigned to and said to myself (so I thought), "Damn that's a dirty bitch." My driver overheard me and it was christened Dirty Bitch. Halfway through the tour I switched crews and my second truck was named Dirty Bitch 2.
On the radio and BFT, it was called the much more dull Gun4. |

I tasked to do a suicide watch in the barracks once, shitheel had stolen a VCR (yeah, I know, I'm old) from another dude, got caught and was all upset about it. Checked out a radio, asked what I should use for a call sign and was told to just come up with something. Roger that. "Razor One, control, radio check." |

I had a Marine O-4 christen me "Shop Vac" because im big and noisy and clean up messes. My partner was "claw hammer" because he was dull and good at smashing stuff. Everything was DIY related. The TOC was the toolbox.the fob was home depot etc etc. CO was buzz saw if Im not mistaken. This was ramadi 2007-ish

I was in a Platoon with the call sign Sweet and Sour... it was the gayest call sign ever, and doing radio checks, you could hear people laughing their ass off, especially long rifle and bearmat, the two range controls of Camp Pendleton and 29 Palms.
Bn CO was all about our China Marines heritage. |

The swedes in balkh province had an armored vehicle named Puma Swede.
Speaking of porn chicks, Any Anbar Marines here remember how all the streets in ramadi were named after porn stars or other famous hot chicks? How many convoy briefs went like so: "ok at this intersection we're going to turn left off of Michigan onto Jenna Haze, then we'll parallel on Eve Lawrence to Teagan and that will put us back on Michigan" |

Back in Iraq we had internal callsigns for use around the FOB and junk. Our mechs were Bang Bus and our HE guys were Darkwing. The 1/2 COC was really confused one afternoon when they heard "Bang Bus, Bang Bus, this is Darkwing, over." multiple times. Apparently Darkwing didn't realize he was NOT on internal comms.
Several years later in Afghanistan we were tasked with coming up with our company's callsign for when we forward deployed. Due to our absolute shit workup, command issues, etc. we wanted to pay sarcastic homage to the command. In honor of our CO who had the last name Rowley we came up with "Ruff N' Rowley" and in honor of our 1stSgt, named Sullivan, we chose "Sully's Boys." Needless to say neither one was chosen and we ended up with something dumb like "Destruction." |

During my time in Mosul in late 2008 we had a tiny PB on an IP training facility. I was running the PB TOC radio watch and heard a call from "Care Bear 6" requesting permission to enter our battle space and stop in to our PB. It was a legit MTT (team) in our AO doing whatever they did with the iP/IA. They came into the PB and the CO C/B6 was a huge black Army CPT; I thought it was a hilarious call sign. He, not so much. I guess they let one of the members name the team...

Back in my early Army days, I think around 1992-93, we had an old duce and 1/2 that we named FuckHammer. I think it was because of the box of FMs we had in the back....also a couch, TV, generator, and coolers which were often filled with cheap ass beer (think PBR). We were Cav, so maybe that's why.......

On my first deployment my LAV-LOG somehow got a bunch of white paint splattered on the back hatches, that earned us the name "speckled ass" on the platoon's tac. Also, my current ops chief (a large black man) dubbed himself "Black Storm", and is known by that call sign all the way up to the Company CO.

Never made it to the military because of health but in Army ROTC on one FTX a couple of the cadets came up with ramrod and the gay blade for radio call signs in our platoon. Our cadre were Vietnam vets and they never would use the call signs when they were talking.

Once upon a time, back in '07 or so, there was a mortar platoon from the 82nd who had a sweet callsign. This callsign was so awesome that the officer in charge of a detention facility in Iraq mentioned them in a brigade-wide address about selecting appropriate and professional callsigns, stating that it was both inappropriate and unprofessional to write "Money Shot 6" in the callsign block on the prisoner transfer paperwork. And gleefully the Paratroopers of said motrar platoon with huge grins on their faces continued on in their ways, a new badge of honor on their chests.

We started up a PSD team and we were allowed to come up with our own callsign. We decided on something like "Reaper". When we found out who we were being attached to, we had to change it as someone already had it. The BC came up with "Bucklers"
Apparently a "buckler" is a Spartan shield and since we were being attached to the Spartan BDE of 10MTN he thought it was fitting. We thought it was fucking gay and had to explain it to nearly everyone we met.
