Cleetus
-
'Maj. Scott 'Cleetus' Bridgers of the 157th Fighter Squadron at McEntire Air National Guard Station likes to have fun with his call sign. In flight school, aviators ribbed Bridgers about his thick Southern drawl. So they named him 'Cletus' after one of the bumpkin characters on the 'Dukes of Hazzard' TV show. Bridgers, though, took the joke further. He added an 'e' and when he writes his call sign, he turns the 'e's' around because 'I'm a backward country boy.''

Congo
-
I'm an African American pilot (414th). When I would go to the gym and play basketball with a few of my buddies we would always make bets who could get closest to a successful dunk. I always would win. My best bud one day joked that I could leap like a monkey.... lol. Then congo stuck somehow. Ive known these guys for quite some time so of course i take no offense to it.
-
Cooler
-
I had an instructor in T-38's who said that while preparing to cross the pond the flight doc gave the pilots immodium AD. Well after taking the pills the flight got cancelled due to Wx. well, next evening ready for the hop he couldn't s$%t and he couldn't take another set of pills. So, long story short, halfway across the pond he used his cooler to hold the waste.
-
Corny
-
Maj. Erik "Corny" Cornelisse. My callsign was given to me at ENJJPT during pilot training. Cornelisse was much too difficult to pronounce. My trigram was COR (from Cornelisse) and this quickly became "Corny". In "Duffies", the bar at the O'Club the girls changed it to "Horny Corny". Later, back in The Nethelands, it changed back to "Corny". Although I might have told a bad joke here or there, the callsign "Corny" does not come from the word corny......
-
Crapper
-
I knew a guy who checked into my HSL squadron - called himself "Scrapper" for his basketball skills. It didn't take long for everyone to realize that this guys real callsign should be "Crapper." Rule #1 - don't give yourself a callsign. Rule #2 - never question or oppose a callsign given to you by your wardroom.

Crowebar

My name is Bill Crowe. For the last 20 odd years I have been called crowebar by my work mates because I am quite strong and can usually force most things open, or undo most tight nuts, screws etc. So if they can't get something open / undone they get the crowebar out!

-
Cyrus (the Virus)
-
68 FS intel officer who didn't really crash the PFPS mission planning computer while deployed to Kuwait but, who found out the MS Office suite was jacked up. He didn't know the pilots were aware that the Office suite was messed up and were going to get it fixed the next day. Intel dude thought he'd done something and unneccessarily "fessed" up since he thought he busted the mission planning computer. We had our naming ceremony for all the FNGs while we were deployed (dang! no booze or girly mags/movies!). We had all the un-named officers (pilots, intel, MX) submit their own call signs as a ruse. The intel dude submitted pro wrestling names. Of course, we intro'd his naming with female wrestler names instead of "The Rock" "Stone Cold" "Sting" etc. Then one of the pilots embellishes how the computer got jacked up cuz the intel dude must have the virus "touch"...hence "Cyrus the Virus"
