I knew a guy in high school who’s last name was Samples who joined the Navy. I’m sure Seaman Samples couldn’t be said without laughing!

I went through Air Force basic with a guy who’s last name was “Hands” we always joked about if he had only joined the navy instead.

I worked with a guy named Bob C@ck. He was a seaman at one time...Seaman C@ck. When he got married his wife obviously didn't want to be Mrs. C@ck, so he changed his name.

I asked him what his new name was. "Its King," he said.

"You want to be known as King C@ck?"

"No. Bob King."

"Oh, OK."

That is a true story.

Went through OTS with a southern gentlemen whose first name was “General”. So of course he answered the phone with “Lt. General xxx, may I help you?” On a training base, that caused many gasps...

Reminds me of the story of basic training. First day, the Drill Instructor bellowed his name was Sgt. Stone and he was tougher than his name implies.

As he was going down the line of privates, asking them their last name, the final one answered meekly, “Stonebreaker, sir.”

Instead of his name on his uniform nametag, it literally said 'Captain'. I'm not making this up, though I wish I was.

Where do we get these people ?!?

What do you expect from someone that flys for a non- union carrier??
