Fun with Velcro™ nametags on the US Army uniform: picture A second-hand account informs me that at least one soldier in a combat team in Afghanistan had "McLovin' on his uniform. Wyatt |

My PMS in ROTC was Colonel Dick Tater. An ROTC acquaintance went infantry, but I saw him later when he was Captain Gay. At Fort Knox, there was a Major Minor, and a Sergeant Major. My battalion commander at Knox went on to retire as Lietenant General Funk. Allen |

Allen did you go through Knox when Captain Imhof was teaching Task Force Tactics? First name was John. We called him Jack. |

While stationed at Randolph AFB Texas I noticed on one of the reserved lockers in the gym changing room a locker with the names of Capt Kirk and WO2 Spock. |

Kirk was never a major, he went straight to Admiral Kirk…. |

When I was in the Air Force, I had a Sergeant who was "Staff Sergeant Sargent". And I went through Basic with an "Airman Armey". Poor Airman Armey, he caught hell every day for that name… -Alex |

I had a buddy whose name was Major. WE had quite a blast at his expense when he was promoted to Major. Everyone became a double rank name. "Private Private" "Lieutenant Lieutenant" etcetera. Everyone saluted Major Major, including our boss, Colonel Colonel. |

Ah yes…
It reminds me of the day that good old Radar O'Reilly was promoted from Corporal to Corporal Captain. We were all so proud. |

My uncle went to basic training in the Navy with a "Richard Head." Think about it. My first SgtMaj was SgtMaj Major. I received a letter of appreciation for some volunteer work over Thanksgiving early in my USMC career, the charity that sent it addressed it to my apparently brand new USMC rank: "Lance Colonel" When I was in 3/1 I worked with a Cpl Sergeant, he later got promoted to Sgt Sergeant, and even later earned himself a commission… 2ndLt Sergeant. |
