Zero, Shrek, Sheriff of Baghdad? Those are all badass nicknames.

Great interview. The things he did in Afghanistan, incredible. Read "Kill Bin Laden" it's a great read & describes what he & his fellow Operators did.

Excellent! I was tagged with "Hank" in DS school in 1989. I still hear it to this day when I'm around my fellow old soldiers.

Great story! Thank you for your service.

War stories. They're an innate skill of every CSM. It's what they do, and you have to love them for it. Thanks, Shrek--yours are top-notch.

I was called chihuahua. I was the smallest guy in the platoon and I would fight anyone. Also, if my platoon sergeant or squad leader told me to go hump someone's leg I would have to comply because of my nickname. That got me in trouble a few times.

We had a thing where we named vehicles , saw swamp pig written on a tank . So we wrote on our vehicles , my buddy and I. Wrote wagon on ours. It actually helps locate people or rally points , etc.

Honeslty this guy seems like a humble but total fucking legend! He has zero ego what so ever! I'm Australian and I think he'd love our country and getting on the piss here!

Love the phone call story lmao its awesome

he earned his name.

I am almost in hoensbroek

I never served, but my neighbors call me “Pendejo”. Does that count?

I think about you everyday but I hear your voice on the grocery store. Have a nice weekend drekin

I got the nickname" Chilly Dawg" back in 04. Sticks to this day 😂😂

I love my fellow Army Brothers.... I love your attitude and everything else what makes us badd aasser than any Navy dudes,,,,, NSDQ, RLTW

How likable is this cat? Would follow this guy anywhere, anytime.

Great guy.

What a cool guy...

I got stuck with "red" for 3 years.. Never really bugged me actually i was just happy to have a nickname to be honest

i was just an AA guy... this dude is kicks ass

We had this expensive 6 day FTX with like 50-60 volunteers acting like villagers etc, and there was a guy who played the #1 HVT and I was my team leader on an unrelated operation. Long story short I spotted him on a road near a building and decided to take him out at the expense of two of my men. So they called me "Rambo" for like a month afterwards lol.

Sorry i was taking my stress off and take a hike i want to see you guys and my Girl Mandy

I was in RIP with Joe and also went to 1st Batt. As well Hell of a good guy and we did drink and I mean drink

hahaha this shit is true. My nickname was Sprinkles for an entire deployment.

Oooof, my nickname in my unit was SkyDiver. One morning during PT, I fell off a 25ft rope in the early days when i just gotten to my unit.

My first nickname ever was in my sophomore Weightlifting class and I looked like someone these guys saw at baskin Robbins so my name for the rest of the year was Baskin Robbins

Semper Fi

Everyone's nickname comes from something you fucked up. When you have multiple nicknames, it means you're a legend.

Shrek the yellow cab driver of Baghdad. Legendary!

He's a true badass...

was it good with sprinkles?

He must be thinking about the coast guard or the air force because we didn't make up our own nicknames in the Navy. It was either from screwing up like he said or because of your looks.

My nickname was blondie cuz apparently Blondeaux was too hard for the army
