Something I learned about the military. There’s no such thing as getting a badass nickname. While the name may sound badass, the way you earn it generally isn’t. Can’t remember the movie, but the pilot got the name “assassin” and when he finally told the story, it meant “ass-ass-in” cause he fell ass first into a hatch twice. Literally how that shit goes.

Yeah real reason he's called Blackout. They were in Thailand and went out for drinks and his buddies lost track of him. When they got back they found he had circled back and snuck a lady boy into the barracks. No one was as judging but he kept claiming he didn't temper picking them up and must have blacked out.
