WE had two guys in our squadron who were unrelated.
Greg Elcock and Fred Adcock. Yep they became known as the Cock brothers, EL and
AD. Even ran an article in the base newspaper while on cruise what a hoot.
Then we had a LT. in VAQ-35 who arrived with a call sign of "floater"
Apparently her RAG class went on a ski trip and had an Admin in one of the
hotels. She went into the bathroom by herself. The next guy into the head
discovered a floater left behind. She denied even using that appliance but the
callsign stuck and she would go out of her way to try to stop it.

And let's not forget LT Mike Pabst, call sign "Smear", or LT Matt
Seaman, call sign "Spurt". God Bless vulgarity, poor taste and Naval
Aviation forever. Amen.

Which is the #1 way of making sure the call sign sticks!
