Callsign of the day
Callsign "Slutter Chief"
The story began when I was a last year student of the Air Force Academy. Sometime at a weekend holiday night, my friends and I went out to the city, and suddenly we met a slut on the road.
My friends were challenging me to speak with her, so I began to approach her. After several minutes of chit-chat, she still didn't believe that an Air Force cadet wanted to sleep with her. As the price negotiation was going on, suddenly we saw my Academy instructor walking down the road and approaching me!
My friends ran and left me behind alone with an embarrassed face, I met the instructor and he said, "You're such a son of a b***h! Go home now and we'll see if that any punishment you'll get!"
At the Academy, the Cadet's Honor Board gave a punishment I'll never thought before. They said, if I pass the Academy and were sent to an Operational Squadron, they'll call me "Slutter Chief", and believe it or not, my friends that were with me on the day, also got a similar callsign: "Slutter One", "Slutter Two", and "Slutter Three"...
Now, 7 years after I graduated from the Academy and the Captain's insignia are on my shoulders, my counterparts still call me "Slutter Chief" ...
