With a last name like Smith you can guess.

[m14ed]

"CRASH" Was my first good nickname................
Was earned by goofing off one day. I and another
Marine , We were "trail riding" the tank trails that we used to
road test equipment (insert goof off )= rough terrain cranes and forklifts. When i was supposed to follow a mechanic testing a
rough terrain forklift, while i was on an identical type lift.
HE stopped at an intersection ( TANKS ,couldn't be heard over
our engine noise) - good thing i operated with the fork and boom section low!)

"WINGS" Was my second/permenatn nickname...I pushed the
"Envelope" when it came to " High and Tights", Some of my JARHEAD hair, always came out from under the utility cover.

[Apache]

I recall Col ****bird

"boys" wanted to frag him----
NO not authorized
On his last day in country the "boys" set a bobby trap in the O,s ****ter
He came out kinda spotty (all over)

Mader than a wet cat !

Having a typical Polish last name I was called "Ski" most often. If someone came into the squad bay and yelled "hey Ski" they usually got a couple of resonses from the various Pollacks. Good friends called me "Luke" as my last name starts with Luk.
