Please do share the most preposterous you have come across.


Not very preposterous, but whilst in VT-24 we had a Marine instructor
with the moniker of "Brillo". Hair was just like a brillo pad, but he
was not a man of color.

Unlike "Peaches" I know one guy whose callsign changed over the years.
When we were going through training and for some years later he was
known as "Lurch", later as "Slim".
