Gadget

Gangsta
-
During IRAQI FREEDOM our OG demanded quiet in the mission planning cell during pre-takeoff briefs. This went on for several weeks and with each turn he got more and more frustrated by the interruptions until one day he'd had enough, stopped the briefing, and summarily fired the chief planner and then threatened similar actions for the rest of us. Someone later said he looked just like Al Capone. One of our life support troops overheard that and said, "yeah, he's a real gangsta." It stuck.

'Mark 'Ghandi' Hebein, he was called so because he once rain to a little field of hot, burning ash barefooted! It was to compare him with Mahatma Ghandi.....'Ghandi, the firewalker!' You might know that is a sort of ritual in India to cross a field of ash barefooted to show that man can withstand pain.'

Ghost
-
Always had a bad habit of coming out of nowhere and scaring the crap out of everybody. Several references were made at how I could pass through walls and just materalize without a sound, and my very pale skin, so several people started calling me a "ghost" and the name stuck.

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.

Gorbachev
-
This guy was taking off the CSD/ADG door, cause he dropped a chip detector and couldn't find it, and he didn't leave any screws in the door to keep it steady. Well one of the screws got stuck up under the jet and he went to get it unstuck....well it popped out and then gravity took over. The door came down and it caught him off guard and it slapped him in the forehead. One of the screws cut into his forehead and caused about an inch gash. Then somebody mentioned that it reminded him of Mikhail Gorbachev. And that's how he got that name.

Gweed
-
A lot of young "sticks" ran out to spend their new found wealth on mag wheels, stereos, cameras, etc. I had an affinity for civilian Italian styled clothes. Guess that made me appear as a miniture mobster of some sort. My buds began calling me Guido that was later shorten to Gweed. After Fighter Lead-In school, I loved the call "Gweed's got the lead." Great also during a game of CRUD.
