Callsign "Goose"
He slipped on large bird shit in Korea, when he arose, he said to the girls, take me to bed or lose me forever. he had too much soju.
It later stuck when it was discovered he was a back seater in F-4s like Goose from top gun....except that he lived and retired after 24 yrs in Fighters.
