We had a new bloke turn up once, and most jobs he was asked to do he would attempt but ultimately fail.. He came into the office and said in a northern drawl " I can't do it"

After that he was chistened Orvile, and I'm pleased to say that dispite 2 postings and a fitters course, he is still know as that 6 years on.

Nosmo which confused me until I realised the guy's surname was King and a girl (who is probably still in), that had the nickname Tess, which made no sense to me until I was told her maiden name had been Tickle.

Knew a bloke once, aquired the nickname DC (standing for Dumb C**t) during training. Met him a few years later, he was still usint the same name, apparently when he arrived at his first posting he was asked "what's your name mate?" to whitch he replied...."They call me DC, it's short for Dumb C***!"

Hmmmmm nothing like prooving a point i suppose.....

A senior member of Eng Wing at a base in East Anglia a couple of years ago was known, amongst Junior Officers, as 'Exocet'. You could see him coming, knew he would cause devastation, but you could do b*gger all about it.:eek:

Name your spineless boss Goebbels

Name your spineless boss Goebbels

I once had a boss we called Goebbels because...

Hitler, he only had one ball,
Goering, he had two but very small,
Himmler had something simmler,
But poor old Goebbels had no balls at all

I didn't really but It's a good one for the future.

An old(ish) SNCO at LATCC (Mil) some time ago was always called ROLF.....(Right Obnoxious Little Fu*ker)....don't think he ever cottoned-on though!:p
