Recieved it from my buddies in an unfortunate event that almost cost my life. What to say, it was a mailfunction on the engines and they ignited, started burning. Luckily, I was just prepairing for a take-off from a carrier, so it was easy to heat off the engines and abort. - Eddie M.

B.B.
-
A drunken night at the Kun (Juvats of course) for a young Lt. 3 seconds away from being named Opie for the rest of my life when another punk saved me. Offered up B.B. to the crowd - complete silence since no one could figure out what B.B. meant. "Has anyone ever been stuck next to this kid at the bar? Blah Blah (f^*$ing) Blah...so B.B. for short." No vote, no more names, just a nametag with B.B. on it. What is Good!

Back fire
-
Well it was my one-on-one combat training mission in PAF F-16 squadron. When I found my instructor at my tail I rapidly fired as many flares as we were allowed to show off. My instructor some how got in a wrong place so he had to face the back fire. Then at debrief he held me responsable for "firing backwards" at him rather than to fire when he was in front, it got a ludicrous sitcom as my backfire seemed to be quite accurate. My Squad-mates labeled me a 'back fire' shooter and it became a funny tactic.

Badger

Former Viking driver.
I'm from Wisconsin and gave up a few weekends during flight training to make sure I knew my stuff.
That (some LTCDR said I went after it like a Badger) and Wisconsin had terrible football teams when I was in the Navy so it was kind of an insult, I guess.

Bambi

This pilot, who is now flying F-15s at Tyndall, hit a pregnant deer with his nosegear while taking off in a T-38 at Columbus. Needless to say, there were guts all over the runway and they had to close it for half an hour to clean-up.

Bambi Killer
-
'Some years ago a guy was in Gagetown learning to fly the Kiowa. One of the events was learning to fire the gun pod; the mission was to pop up from behind a hill and shoot at a target a mile away. It takes a few seconds for the lead to travel downrange, and as one pilot was watching to see if he'd hit the target, a deer made the fatal mistake of leaping from behind cover at the wrong moment. For the rest of this fellow's career in the Canadian Forces, he was tagged 'Bambi Killer'.'

Batman
-
One day I thought it would be a good idea to share a picture of a SPEC Ops guy in HALO gear getting ready for a jump...he looked like Batman. So I sent the e-mail out to the rest of the shop under the title "I am BATMAN!!!" and made the mistake of not attatching said picture. From that day on I was officially known as Batman.

'Sometimes a call sign doesn't have to be a name or word. Maj. Mike Lay, a member of the 78th Fighter Squadron at Shaw, goes by the call sign of 'BIA' as in 'Born In America.' A Knoxville, Tenn., native, Lay said he was christened 'BIA' because he likes to talk about home and family.'

Bolleke

This is my call sign since ages. Given to me by my drill instructor in one of my first jobs in my military life. Refering to my body shape at that moment (end of 80's) [Note from Editor: "Bolleke" is a Flemish word and can be translate as "Small sphere" in English]. Since that moment I kept my call sign with honours, even for 6 months in ISAF HQ, Kabul, AFG. Years later I will be for the first time in a F-16 Sqn at 10th W Tac, KB, BE.

'When asked to explain his call sign, Marine Capt. Clint 'Boo-Boo' Weber, who flies an F/A-18 with Squadron 332, shook his head. 'I'm not sure why but they said I looked like Yogi Bear's sidekick,' said Weber, who has heavy, dark brown eyebrows.'

Booger

F-15 pilot. Why you ask? When Dan was in flight school, he had a bad cold and he had to get rid of the boogers. So he shot a snot rocket in front of his peers.

A testiment to rule #3! Grew up in texas nice desert climate, hot, low humidity. first operational posting was to Hahn Air Base in germany. In the wet cold my nose ran every second I was out doors, the sleeves of my flight jacket served as my hankie. They started calling me crusty, i got an attitude about it and my buddies changed my nick to "boogers". should have kept my trap shut.

'Jeff 'Boom-Boom' Paulk, a 10TFS pilot got his name for a funny thing. He used to be the Nr2 Quaterback at the USAF Academy football team, so a very competitive guy. One night at the O'Club one of the Sabres challenged all his bro's with the Sabre coin. When a pilot challenges another with the sqdn coin at places where alcohol is served, his fellow has to show his coin within 60 seconds. If all his bro's have the coin, the one who challenged has got to pay a round, however, if there's someone who doesn't have the coin he'll buy a round for the rest. Anyway, that day Jeff had left his coin in the car when he was challenged, he immediately runs out of the bar, tried to push the door open in this violent football- player- manner... and wham.... guess what happened... He slammed the main entrance door of the O'club, which was fully glass, into a million pieces. So they gave him the name Boom-Boom'

I'm not an F-16 Driver, but this is the only callsign website I could quickly find. So, here's the deal -- I'm an engineer/analyst type who was a back-seater in the QF-4 Phantom (test jets) a few years ago at Tyndall and I just "earned" my callsign tonight, courtesy of 3 double shots of Jeremiah Weed. Other options on the board were "Smithers" and "Milhouse" (both Simpson's references, of course -- and not at all cool ones at that). I drank my way out of those and bought our 2-star a double shot in order to get his 51% majority vote. Needless to say, he then deemed me "Brick" and I've recoved enough from those three double shots to record this stirring rendition of the story. I feel like it all turned out pretty well in the end, considering the alternatives. [Fri, 20 Mar 07]

Younger brother took leave while in UPT. He got back from leave late because he and his gal got stuck in the hotel elevator for a few hours and the fire dept had to come rescue them. No one believed him until they got confirmation from the fire dept.

I was tasked to introduce the Secretary-General of NATO to an audience of many 'stars', and some lesser individuals... halfway through my introduction... you guessed it: I let go a massive burp! I could have died on the spot, but he took it generously and I continued to serve my country, fly Vipers and even had a career!!
