Callsign "Lego"

A few weeks into basic training at the Air Force academy, a competition was held for all the cadets on the parade field (field day). Each cadet was assigned multiple events to compete in and the first event Lego participated in was the "wall climb", a race where cadets run 10 or so yards, jump/climb over an eight foot wall, run 10 or so yards, and return back over the wall. While going over the wall on the return leg, Lego was either pushed, pulled, or simply demonstrated a momentary lapse in his otherwise outstanding athletic ability, and caught his foot on the brace holding up the wall and tumbled to the ground. Lego attempted to get up to finish the final 5 yard run to the finish line, however, something prevented him from standing up. The grass on the parade field was wet and he kept slipping as he attempted to stand. Feeling no pain - Lego looked around and located the problem. His left shoe had come off and was upside down right next to his right hip. As he picked it up, he noticed that something was not quite right - it was quite heavy... and under further investigation he traced the skin, blood, tendons, etc that were attached to the bottom of his left leg. He was now holding his foot in his hand in front of him. He had been unable to stand because his "nub" on the end of his leg was continually sliding on the wet grass. What followed was quite comical. Lego did at this point begin to scream in pain holding his now removed foot in his hand. The driver of the ambulance at the parade field became so excited he stalled the ambulance and was unable to get it started. They ended up having to send a second one from the Academy hospital. When the EMT's arrived they attempted to brace Lego's foot. They had to take it from him and somewhat prop it into the bottom of an inflatable brace... where the foot kept falling to the side causing insane pain. The best quote of the day though came when the AF Academy Superintendent, Lt Gen Winfield Scott (Great guy!) came up from behind Lego while he was still lying on the ground holding his foot in his hand. Gen Scott put his hands on Lego's shoulders and asked something to the effect of "What is the matter, Son". Not knowing who was behind him, in intense pain, and shock, Lego replied, "What the F### do you think is wrong, I'm holding my G## D### foot in my hand. Gen Scott was not fazed nor insulted and said, "We'll get you to the hospital here shortly, even if I have to drive you myself". Lego recovered and went on to graduate and fly F-16's for his entire career. While the callsign remained, it evolved as Lego was continually injured it seemed at every base or TDY he was assigned, and was known to require some sort of random surgery almost annually. He became known as the person built out of Legos, constantly replacing parts with better ones, The name truly fit all the way up until his retirement.
