-
Tank
-
'A brand new F-16 pilot at Pope AFB looked down at his fuel gauge and 'Oh crap!' it was almost empty and he was a ways from base. 'Uh. . . Tower, this is Tiger 2 declaring an emergency!' Never a good thing for a fighter pilot's ego anyway. Ooops, my bad, I just forgot to switch from my wing tanks to my main tanks. 'Tower, Uh. . . forget that emergency.' From that day forward he was known as TANK.'

Thunder
-
No matter how hard the guys tried during basic at P'Cola and during deployments afterward nobody could ever get my Dad pissed off enough to lose his cool. Finally one night during one hell of a storm onboard the Enterprise while reviewing landing tapes a new nugget slammed the ramp hard and bent a landing gear on a brand new Scooter. Dad went out and proceeded to chew the guy out for 45 minutes straight in a thunderstorm on the flight deck. Since my father was one of the quietest guys around until finally provoked the name stuck.

Title IX
-
This soon-to-be pilot was out at the mall doing one of those Flight Sim places with a couple buddies. This particular place has made deals with the "Women Fly" movement, of which she's a big proponent (she's the only girl flier around). As we were waiting, a buddy walked past the Women Fly merchandise and called out "Hey Rachael, here's the Title IX rack". It stuck.

Torch
-
LTC Don Campbell at Luke AFB, 1988. Taking off for Hawaii with three bags of gas, lights the blower, engine blows up, airplane catches on fire. He aborts takeoff, ground egresses, and runs to the edge of the runway, pulls out his pack of cigarettes, and very rapidly puffs through the entire pack as he watches his airplane burn up. Hence "Torch".

Tuna
-
I tried to cook a can of Tuna over a chemical (hexi) stove during a ground survival training thing, the can blew sky high because of the heat, we were not allowed back on the base ever again and I got a bolloking from my shell-shocked C.O. Somebody called me that on the way back to base and it stuck.

Had to use the bathroom one night and was too far from the AMU, so I went next to the F-16 farthest from prying eyes....but got caught!
