What's Your Call Sign?

Naval aviators often give up their given name for a contrived, loving or humorous nickname.  My staff (me--with a little help from the Mech guy...OK, Dan...a lot of help) has come up with a list of our top-ten favorite call signs.  I hope you will enjoy the list and will take time to submit your favorites.  Please send your inputs to jack.stewart@navy.mil.  Please keep 'em clean, and check this site often because we will change the list from time to time.

To read more about the history of call signs, click here for an excerpt from "Fighter Country - The F-14 Tomcats of NAS Oceana" by LCdr. Dave Parson (Ret.) and Derek Nelson.

  • Lt. Sean "Big" Johnson (Tall! Like  6' 3'' tall.)
  • Lt. Matt "Dabone" Marone (Short for the boner mistakes made in Admin)
  • Capt. (USMC) Todd "Silverback" Siebert (The oldest Lt. in his infantry battalion, yes I said infantry battalion, and he has two kids...one of each sex...a proven breeder)

  • Lt. Jeff "Goat" Farmer

  • Lt. Ken "Will Riskit" Gainer (not any longer)
  • Cdr. Doug "Nygel Strangsways" White (I don't get it...Tom Green says you had to be there!)

Air Force Contributions:

  • 1stLt. Matt "Rolex" Russell, USAF (Formerly Russ, now known to all parties as Rolex--you can guess why.)
  • Capt. Pete "Vapor" Reddan, USAF (Formerly "Magoo," but earned a new call sign because he saw and frantically reported a Raytheon T-6A Texan II streaming or leaking an unknown "Vapor.")
  • Capt. Todd "Kimo" Kalish, USAF

International Contributions: Not Updated - Feel Free to Write

  • Ken "Sleaze" Bettam (Norway -- known to frequent the seedy part of any town)
  • Dave "Smurf" Knight (Norway -- his face always turns blue in the low pressure/high-alt chamber)
  • Carsten "Cables" Hagen (Norway -- once flew through some powerlines...by accident)

Honorable Mentions (New):

  • Captain Ralph "Mutorcs" Shoukry, USAF - (Guess Mutorcs - Contact Jack if you can't figure it out)
  • LCdr. Jim "FLOYD" Danhakl (Found Lying On Yard Debilitated-old Navy)
  • Lt. David "Fudd" Aylmer
  • Lt. Rob "Belly" Akin (He grew into his callsign)
  • LCdr Billie "Free Fall" Ledbetter (A flight surgeon who also happens to be an EA-6B pilot. He got that one because he enjoys sky diving. I would be careful around any pilot that likes to jump out of perfectly good aircraft!)
  • Update! LCdr. Ray "Sweaty Palms" Benson (Big Kahuna's first stick at VA-65 -- not a comforting call sign at 100 ft AGL and 400 knots) I need to clarify for APPROACH readers that Ray's moniker was the complete opposite of his real personality. Ray was a very cool dude who never showed stress (sweat) under any situation.  I've never forgotten his answer to everything stressful he had to deal with-"it's all part of life's rich pageant". No matter what, Ray dealt with problems in a calm, cool manner.--Big Kahuna.
  • LCdr. Tom "Twinkle-Toes" McCleerey. (Let it slip that he majored in Dance
    and Theater in college.)  Big mistake--Dan and Jack.
  • Update! LCdr. John Nielson (Always tried to claim his WUNA nickname stood for World's Ultimate Naval Aviator, but his copilots knew better. World's Ugliest Naval Aviator was a better fit)
  • LT Joel "Melanoma" Randolph (His bald head received a blistering, puss oozing sunburn while doing in a "crossing of the line" ceremony.)
  • LT Abe "Blue Light" Kamarck (Stretch the last name to KMart...you get it)
  • LT Pat "Me" O'Toole
  • Lt. Sean "Mousse" Clark (The true "anti-Moose" by stature, also used the hair-care product of his callsign)

Honorable Mentions (Archives):

  • Cdr. Hal "Rooten" Tuten
  • Ltjg. Mike "Koonter" Kinter
  • Lt. "______" Banger (Wouldja tellya buta canta dontcha knowa)
  • LCdr. "Snuffy" Smith (Det OIC, USS Ranger 1974 Cruise, he looked just like him.)
  • Lt. Chris "Sully" Sullivan 
  • Lt. Pete "SWIM" Zubof  ("Single White Male." Showed up as nugget mid-cruise and spent a lot of time on the internet. Turns out, he was surfing the web personals looking for dates).
  • Lt. Katrina "Roller Girl" Butler
  • LCdr. Dave "Scrounge" Bussiere, Ret
  • Lt. Peter "Worm" Weston  (He was med-down and had to cancel a RAG flight as a student, headed to medical, and they removed a 5-ft tapeworm that had not survived a hard weekend.)
  • Lt. Mark "Socks" Nagel (Got locked out of one room and showed up at his own room, much to the surprise of his roommate, in only his socks.)
  • Lt. Ken "Shrimpburger" Wasson
  • LCdr. Kurt "Beavis" McClung
  • Cdr. Dave "Bush Whacker" Bjerke (F-14 jock and Top Gun graduate.)
  • AE3 Rick "Ace" Scott (Got mine in VQ-1 in the early 70s. As a young AE3, I started out on EC-121s but never a callsign until the 121s retired, and I moved to EA-3Bs. My crew leader was AT2 Dave Hoisington. He used to say,  "Way
    to go ACE."  It stuck, and the PRs put a pair of aces on my helmet.
  • AT2 Dave "The Worm" Hoisington
  • Lt. Basil "Bingo" Pugh (Rick Scott's pilot.  Name because he had trouble getting ON the ship.)
  • Lt. "Canx" Cordell (I can't remember his first name, but he couldn't get OFF the ship)
  • LCdr. Rob "Tuck" Costello (Like the Friar)
  • LT Greg "Perp" Siuta (Short for "perpetrator." Security stopped him while walking to  the barracks from the o'club. Perp thought he was evading the enemy, so while hiding in the bushes at the golf course, he sanitized his flight-suit patches and refused to talk.)
  • Lt. Chris "Drippy" Johnson (Cute, but not what you're thinking)
  • Lt. Chris "Hi-Ho" Silva
  • Lt. Tim "Fish" Kray
  • Lt. Larry "Frank" Byrnes
  • Ltjg John "Flamer" Pamer (NOT what you might think!)
  • Lt. David "Keebler" Rohlfs  (For his somewhat elfish size)
  • Maj. Brian "Doc, Bones or Quack" Belson (My call sign changed from command to command, but no one used "Quack" around the time for annual physicals)
  • Lt. John "Sparky" Joyce. (Call sign website's record holder: Most words in the summary category--Dan) A former VAW-125 NFO. Call sign imposed following a 24-hour period in which the following occurred:
        1. While sitting in the RO seat of an E-2C turning on the cat, ready for launch, the electrical panel popped several breakers and burst into flames about 18 inches from my face mask. After quickly advising the pilots who aborted the launch, the NFOs jumped through the aft hatch and onto the flight deck to the great surprise of the yellow shirts and the air boss.
        2. Accidentally started a fire in the squadron ready room at 2 AM while grinding down a steel bulkhead stanchion to reposition the CATC TV, sending a shower of sparks into a nearby dusty/greasy air intake vent. (Met the XO.)
        3. Finally, was electrocuted while disconnecting a ready room electrical outlet to be repositioned for the CATC TV (EKG to follow and hard down for 48 hours for observation.) Learned shipboard electrical system the hard way - there is always a live wire, and its the amps that get you, not the volts.
  • LCdr. John "W. K." Klein (The extra 'K' was for the Big Kahuna)
  • Lt. Chris "Evil" Wright
  • Lt. Tim "Pom-Pom" Krippendorf - He was a college cheerleader at the University of New Hampshire, which we found out from his girlfriend.
  • Lt. Tony "Rockstar" Rhodes (Could have been "Dusty," but he got lucky)
  • Lt. Kevin "Hook" Cantrell  (For his infallible habit of falling for every
    prank or joke)
  • Lt. Rich "Huge" Silva  (Doc Belson says, "Your guess is as good as mine, and as the Doc, I can't comment")
  • LCdr. John "Friar" Primer (An uncanny resemblance to Friar Tuck, right
    down to the hair)
  • Lt. Bill "The Worm" Selk
  • Lt. Bill "Farkle" Freckleton (A RIO who flew F-4B Phantoms with VF-111 off USS Coral Sea.  Got the call sign from the old Laugh In show--the Farkle family.)
  • LtCol. T.R. "Olongapo" Longo (Rare double call sign:  T.R. stands for "The Remarkable" and the other half for a great liberty spot that has San Miguel's with painted labels.)
  • UPDATE! Lt. "Fly" Svajda (pronounced "Swatta."  Randy "Sluggo" Compton of VF-84 and 101 couldn't remember this guy's first name, but "Fly Swatta" is hard to forget. If anyone has a first name on this guy, please pass it along.) Capt. Kerry "Goose" Nye reports that "FLY" was one of his three Center COs at NAVAIRRESCEN Olathe, KS during the early '90s, when the last vestiges of the "Prarie Navy" still existed (the old base now is the New Century Air Center, Gardner, KS)
  • LCdr. John "Bart" Verniest (I got the call sign during outpost week at AOCS.  Several candidate officers in charge of the class thought I looked like Bart Simpson, so the name stuck.  At my first command, I thought the name would fade, but it didn't.  I'm now "follicly challenged," so it's not the same.) 
  • LCdr. Steve "Semicolon" Koenig ("Semi" for short; now is a reservist and civilian with SPAWAR. He had 25 inches of large intestine removed, earning his call sign.) 
  • ADCS(AW/NAC) Jim "Hotwire" O'Dell (P-3 flight engineer who earned his call sign in Somalia after using a piece of wire to get an Orion's engine to start.  We challenged him to tell us one time he used the same trick when stuck in Singapore or Subic. We're still waiting.)
  • Cdr. Al "Fatal" Krause (Checked into VF-154 as XO.  He was a large man who had collected the call sign "Fat Al."  The skipper thought that name was less than dignified for the XO of a squadron, so he was re-branded with a contracted name.)
  • Cdr. Dave "Digger" Wirt (An XO with a portfolio that included ownership of at least one cemetery.)
  • Lt. Shannon "Wally" Workman (The first female Prowler driver in this particular squadron.  Her first call sign didn't pass PC screening, but she didn't mind this one, and it stuck.)
  • Lt. Linda "Floater" Heid (You wouldn't believe me if I told you.)
  • LCDR Dennis "Mancub" Monahan (37 years old but still gets carded in Canada.)
  • LTJG Trace "Turtle" Head (We told you it was clean...very clean)
  • Cdr. Vincent "Vinny" Bowhers (too obvious)
  • Lt. Adrian "Catfish" Jope (Still waiting on the origin of his name)
  • Ltjg. Tim "TJ" Block (Renamed Flogger 2 after North Vietnamese launched toward his EP-3, he popped a circuit breaker, so the name stuck)
  • LCdr. Mike "Meat" Tatsch (We're not touching this one)
  • Lt. Alan "Milkbone" Malmquist (Call sign awarded after two weeks of rabies shots resulting from dog bite on French Riviera.)
  • Lt. Matt "Gucci" Thomas  (waiting on the answer)
  • LCdr. Rob "Chachi" Polvino (looks like him)

  • Cdr. Jeff "Zoil" Penfield
  • LCdr. Geoff "Strain" Gage
  • Lt. Mike "Easy or Sleazy" Reiter
  • LCdr. Scott "Intake" Kartvedt (Because his nose is more pronounced and some could say he takes in more than his fair share of air)
  • LCdr. Jim "Houdini" Wilson (I got locked into my own stateroom and could not get out because the tumbler was installed backward. Most people think it's because of something magical that I did in the cockpit...I don't correct them)
  • AE3(NAC) Travis "Trapper" Grogan (Caught a No. 3 wire with his left foot and planted his face on USS Kennedy -- OK 3 wire. Story corrected by Travis "EB" Grogan, now with the 3rd Squadron 4th Cavarly Regiment. )
  • Ltjg. Kyle "Sock" Matthew (Showed up at a dining out wearing only one black sock because he left the other one at home)
  • Ltjg. Doug "Cricket" White (So nervous on his first trap that he clicks the mike to call the ball and forgets what to say...nothing but silence--cricket sounds)
  • Ltjg. Paul "Chunks" Chilcoat (A nugget P-3 Nav, had trouble keeping down his box lunch during low-level ops.  He always carried around a [clear] ziploc bag because it was reusable.)
  • Lt. Nick "Ferret" Ferratella

  • LCdr. George "Stroker" Wikoff
  • LCdr. Ned "Nasty" Hazlett
  • Capt. (USMC) John "Carnie" Kirby (Came from carnivals having different freaks that do crazy and weird stuff.  He fits that mold (John tells us) and being one of the hairiest people most folks ever have seen makes the name stick)
  • Master Chief John "Zipper" Babcock (As an AQ1 [that rate dates him] getting a flight in a TA-4J, his lower flight-suit zipper broke in front of a female plane captain.  Upon return, the maintenance chief gave him the name and it stuck)
  • AW1(AW/NAC) Larry "Tatunka" Foster (Buffalo from the film Dances with Wolves)
  • AW1(AW/SW/NAC) Matt "JAFAW" Russ (Just A F*$%ing AW) 
  • Ltjg. Tom "Jack Tower" Kuruc (While on a diet, he wants to eat something light because he's on a diet and orders the "Jack Tower" at TGI Fridays.  This three-tiered plate of fried fatty foods is topped off by a light beer)
  • Ltjg. Tom "Lurch" Lovett (Just like Lurch from the Adamms Family)
  • Lt. Brian "Bluto" Rich (Looks exactly like Bluto from Animal House)
  • LCdr. John "Waldo" Parsons (after Waldo Pepper because of his no-exactly-regulation barnstormer's mustache)
  • Ltjg. Dave "Crash" Finley (As a young EP-3 third pilot, when not flying, would sit in back, open NATOPs, and would crash.  Also was Burger (Burgermeister) for a short period and one season as "Phased-Array," which was earned on the softball field after a wild throw.  You could tell where he was facing but didn't know the ball's direction)
  • Lt. Melinda "Flossy" Swayne (Your guess is as good as ours)

  • Lt. Steve "WIMBO" Barrett (Why Is My Box Out)
  • LCdr. Tim "Gary" McGarvey (Ordered a nametag to say "Garv", but the finished nametag said "Gary." He complained, so the call sign stuck)

  • LCdr. Scott "Scab" Craig (Was ordered to one squadron but diverted to another one when a squadron pilot broke a leg.  He was a short-notice replacement guy, so he got the call sign Scab)
