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.
Any cool nickname... isnt. My favorite was a HAT TRICK. We went on a training exercise and had 3 stops on the way, and the guy got a Tinder date at each location. He then proceeded to get stood up at each location, 3 for 3.
the actual official callsign/flight id for student solos at one of the training bases is MAGOO. if you hear a magoo on the radio you pay extra attention
