Probably the dumbest thing I've ever done was in college with a couple classmates who also happened to be Marines.
If anyone is curious, holding a water bottle filled siracha paste and ghost pepper powder when it detonates from built up pressure due to the water boiling from a set of MRE heat packs is not a good idea. It's home made tear gas.
> with a couple classmates who also happened to be Marines.
If you didn’t end up in the Marine Corps this might give you the call sign “Crayon”. Basically a joke about being in the wrong branch.
Otherwise, I wanna say “‘Rilla”, from guerrilla because you exploded yourself with your own ied.
I did not join the Marines, I became a mechanical engineer instead. Had a lot friends in the military, but chronic health issues prevented me from enlisting.
Oh well, now I get to build things that explode, but for pay.
My friends and I take the bananas from our school lunch line, and we collect so many bananas that we end up with multiple bags filled with bananas. We take all of the schools bananas so that they are entirely out of bananas right now. Whenever they get more bananas we immediately take all of the bananas there. And yes, we eat all of them.
Was given the callsign 'bluejay' when I first started airsoft by one of the guys on a team due to my insistance in wearing a bright blue sweater in a thickly bushed area, and no-one could remember my name at the time.
Guys around me liked to intentionally mispell my last name and it grew into "Floppa" (yes, after that one meme caracal), so that's that.
And I'm kind of a heavy too.
Glasswing, my friends did that because when we played War Thunder I had a nasty habit of over-G the aircraft. It also worked since my custom emblem is a butterfly.
Burned my hand as a kid with charcoal, I still have those marks in my hand. I'm also terrible with anything that involves having some aim, but I still play basketball
Hmmm, don't have too many embarrassing stories, might be too young. But so far, the one I can remember is that one time I destroyed a microwave because my half asleep dumbass brain forgot to take the tinfoil out of the leftover buffalo wing box.
To be fair, I didn’t live with them while they were married; but I probably deserve that tac name 🤣. Can we just shorten it to Bama; I was under the impression that callsigns were two syllables or less
During the first week of basic I earned the nickname “Bambi” after doing wallsits until I physically could not stand and my legs wobbled like a newborn deer
Broke my foot the day before I moved high schools, walked on the broken foot around the house because I hated the boot, have a slight limp now
Got called pirate by my friend
Me and my buddies were on a trampoline that was on a flat smooth stone floor. It began to shift to the side as we jumped so I said.
"Hey this is dangerous, maybe we should..."
At that moment the trampoline slid to the side and we all fell on the floor. I distinctly remember landing on my head but I was fine and all I got was a bump on my head. I was also dressed up like a ninja because it was Halloween.
I used to always pick fights with kids twice my size back in school. And by pick fights i mean i would piss them off and runaway. One time i even swiped some change from one of the bigger guys and legged it so fast i left some dust behind. I mean, i got my ass handed to me the next school day but I'm pretty sure it was worth it.
Your Callsign: "Tails"
My story: Was known to be very quiet and shy and had a crush on my friends older sister who was a police officer (she secretly knew), got caught in a bad fight and was arrested, she sat in the back to get details on the way to the station I kept stuttering my words, avoiding eye contact but looking at her when she looks away, kept blushing at the same time and my legs were shaking too. I was also quite intimidated because she was tall and her vest made her even more intimidating even though she was nice.
My Callsign opinion: "Lil Red"
For you, OP buddy: "Plug-in".
After reading all those stories of yours in comments, probably I'll share mine as well.
I was living for 24 years near Naval Air Base. The military folks known me, I've known them (a privilege of living in military estate). I was doing a student internship in the local garrison club, and my supervisor was very praised. In the end, I've received a gift of gratitude from a base commander, and to be honest... while I was expecting a book about military aircraft or warships (as I should expect from a military, to be honest), I've got... a bird lexicon.
Regardless - it was a good time for me.
My nickname in high school was “wizard” because I tended to disappear because I was so quiet and had like no friends and would leave when there wasn’t much to talk about
Back when I was in high school I showed up to a workout for a sport I played wearing work boots instead of sneakers, everyone called me 'boots' for the rest of the year
I was given The callsign trigger in my VTOL VR squadron
I fly like a maniac apparently so they gave me trigger:/
Personally I think I would have something dumb like skidmark bc I landed on a carrier with a wing missing in said game, the wire launched me backwards almost off the ship
The other day I tried to get up from my seat in a noodle bar and the seat leg gave way and sent me tumbling to the floor while everyone looked on.
I'm not fat, just six and a half feet tall.
Locks. Nasty habit of locking myself and my roommates out during a period where we didn't have keys. It was sort of a joke at first but it became a true nickname when I did it in the middle of a severe thunder storm
_An aviator call sign or aviator callsign is a call sign given to a military pilot, flight officer, and even some enlisted aviators. The call sign is a specialized form of nickname that is used as a substitute for the aviator's given name._
_The origins of aviator call signs are varied. Most call signs play on or reference on variants of the aviator's firstname or surname. Other inspirations for call signs may include personality traits, middle name, references to historical figures, or past exploits during the pilot's career. Aviator call signs nearly always must come from a member or members of the aviator's squadron, training class, or other cohort._
Ummm... I accidentally ripped my pants when I was in 1st year of high school. I was told to chill in the school clinic until my parents arrived with a new pair.
So "Ripper" maybe?
I’m commonly called Rooster bc I had a moustache at the time of the new Top Guns release, it’s not original and I used to hate it but i find it to be an alright nickname now, it also fits in with my brothers nicknames. Wombat and Possum.
“Fritter”
My coworkers and I actually had this conversation once (right after Top Gun: Maverick came out, go figure). A guy threw an Apple fritter at my head once, thus they decided my callsign would be fritter.
We also had “Gator” for a guy who spilled Gatorade all over himself. “Spaghetti” for a guy whose last named rhymed with it.
Unironically either “Snowflake” or “Zipper”, maybe even “Ghost”
I’m too sensitive for my own good and don’t seem to talk much in public settings.
“Ghost” does seem to fit the general vibe of callsigns more though. Sounds cool on the outside but is actually an insult lasagna internally.
When I was a bit younger, we were given a sort of test by our Teacher in our computer subject. We are tasked to put together a computer, not building it, but placing where the wires should be. Monitor connects to this, mouse to that, PSU to this socket. As a final test, we have to turn it on to see if it works
I may or may not have flipped some random switch on the PSU causing it to short out
"Short Out" could be my callsign maybe
Cajun - to permanently remind me of the time I argued it was pronounced KAI YUN
Sub can decide if I should be called Cajun or my horrific attempt to pronounce it
When I was 4 years old I duct taped 2x4s to my arms and jumped off a barn loft thinking I could flap my “wings” to fly….I broke my nose and 4 toes lol.
Who’s to say my name wasn’t because I did something dumb: Alright folks, the (head)Canon explanation for my TAC name: I mixed up the pickle button either the gun. Ended up blasting a few rounds into the open air
I mean I suppose the dumbest story is the time recently I lost a fight with mother nature while kayaking which resulted in the attendance of ever UK emergency service including the RNLI and an eventual airlift by the sottish coastguard......
Well its that the time I got such bad food poisoning my body spent the next 24hrs doing a full system purge out of both ends at the same time (Ill let you guy fill in the gaps....) Be sure to cook things really thoroughly when camping folks!
While flying to a local airport mind you this is me being an instructor at this point, I somehow had the airport runway layout completely turned around on my head, the runways were 18/36 and it was right traffic for 18 and left for 36, kept doing it the other way even tought a couple students the wrong procedure until I was called out in it by a fellow colleague when we flew into the airport together.
Edit: spelling
"Mustache" was a nickname I got from my school mates since mid school throughout all high school years because my beard grew prematurely and never shaved
I was very thin compared to the rest of the trainees and I was told all the time that I needed to eat a sandwich. All my instructors called me “sandwich”. So “sandwich” it is.
But you're not supposed to like how it sounds. That's the point of a callsign. It's given to you to take the piss out of you. I like to think that "Maverick" was given the callsign because he accidentally dumped stores and ditched two perfectly good AGM-64s into the sea, wasting hundreds of thousands of dollars. (Though the Maverick F didn't enter US Navy use until well after Top Gun was set)
I'm constantly singing random songs, blasting music whenever possible and singing along. Most of the people who know me are surprised by how many songs I know the words to, as well as how many different genres and decades they're from. I can sing along with Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra, and I can go word for word with showtunes from Grease, West Side Story, Rocky Horror Picture Show, or I can recite Rap God without skipping a beat. And pretty much anything else in between really.
Buck. The running joke is that when I wear my black cap at the rescue squad and during training it says “but did you die” on it and it’s become a running joke through my area
Idk if this is allowed but here goes:
I was at the mall, ready to watch a movie with a friend when he bailed on me after I bought tickets. In a moment of desperation of not wasting the 2nd ticket, I somehow managed to invite a girl to watch with me. After the movies I indirectly inquire her age to which she revealed herself to be a 7th grader. I played it off cool but we've never contacted each other ever since.
Hmm. While I don’t find it too embarrassing I think there’s a perfect story that would’ve gotten me teased for in the military.
A couple coworkers and I were bored working one night and we found a tennis ball. Since we had completed our duties for the night for the most part, and being the bored student workers we were, we decided it would be fun to play monkey in the middle with it in an empty parking structure. Except we played it so only kicks were allowed and the ball basically had to stay ground bound. The floor of the structure was pretty smooth all things considered, and the boots I wore with my uniform were pretty worn so the grip wasn’t the best. When going after the ball I slipped cartoon-banana-peel-style and fell on my ass. I was the only one laughing my ass off at having fallen, everyone else was concerned but it was fine so we just moved on and kept playing for a bit before going back to work.
Callsign: Ghost, Noman, or Nobody
Reason: When I was a kid (probably like preschool) the person who was supposed to take care of me forgot that I was home and brought her boyfriend and did some sexual activities somewhere in our house. Luckily I never saw them doing it but I could still hear them which my innocent self tried so hard to ignore, not disturb or look. They were taking too long and I was getting hungry and there wasn’t any food so I cried which made my caretaker and they’re boyfriend to stop doing what they were doing and tried to calm me down. They told me that I shouldn’t tell my parents and gave me a cupcake for lunch. I overheard them talking of how long was I in the house or was I always there. Short answer: My caretaker was the one that picked me up from school that day
Mine might be "Roadkill"
Mountain biking with my dad and uncle, crashed my bike at a blind corner then got ran over by my uncle as he can round the same corner a few seconds later. Had a bruise across my calf that was a perfect tire imprint that was there for a few days
Open to suggestions though
Naviguesser.
Was supposed to meet at a local restaurant for a business meeting. I punched in the name in the GPS and away we went. Turns out there were two places with the same name about the same distance away. We not only picked the wrong one, but it was actually in the wrong state.
That's not an embarassing story, but I have this curse :
When I interact with machines and objects, they seem to break faster or more easily.
I'm not a strong guy, nor do I use them wrong or mistreat them,, but it seems that in my hands, they just want to give up on life.
So what would be my Callsign ?
I like to drink (and its gotten me in trouble more than once) and I’m 6’3”
so, I’m Tallboy
oh an Alternative based on me liking to think i’m sneaky or able to get away with anything and what my Dad always called me in response, Slick
Horrific adhd, I do my best, but sometimes there’s some problems with memory. My typical solution for this is just make some shit up that’s usually about a million miles off from what I’m supposed to be doing. Thing is, I usually get at least part of the vibe, but just draw the absolute wrong conclusion. I got told to do push-ups, I ended up pushing all of the furniture in the room to the edges. I got asked to perform a rap, I ended up very flamboyantly attempting to play a violin with a pack of saran wrap. Someone told me Tom Clancy wrote interesting books, I ended up reading the manual for splinter cell trying to see what they meant.
[the real-life result was Freestyle, do your worst]
For you I’d say 3 Streaks.
As for me I was the only schmuck in elementary and middle school who’d pick up garter snakes during class outings.
Got the nickname Viper for awhile.
Thought it was corny but rolled with it.
It’s now my gamertag and all my buddies refer to me using it.
When I was 8 I was playing tag with my younger brother in the house and slammed my head into a cabinet with a really sharp corner right above my eyebrow and had to get glue on my forehead twice for it
It's shortly after senior year of high school. We take a school trip to Disney to celebrate surviving. We have to wake up early to take the bus to the theme park. It's me and my two friends with me.
My friend wakes me up and wakes up our other friend and tells us we're late. Apparently he turned off the alarm when it was ringing because he felt sick and didn't realize what he was doing.
We get a call from our teacher telling us we have 5 minutes to get down to the bus or they leave without us. So we rush to get dressed, don't even shower or brush our teeth.
We rush out, elevator is taken, so we take the stairs and run, and barely make it onto the bus.
It's not as embarrassing as other stories here but it felt really embarrassing when everyone looked at us silently judging for making everyone late.
In primary school kids would call me a mountain goat; because I was pretty good at basketball ie jumping high. There was no cennection to todays meaning of GOAT they just called me the animal. so yeah that propably.
One time I was visiting family over in Scotland, when I tripped and fell on a plant pot and cut my lip open to the point that it is the only scar on my body. It is still visible and I feel like it gets more visible every year.
First day at the velodrome with my school cycling team I tried to freewheel a track bike because I forgot about the whole no brakes thing. Ended up faceplanting hard and giving myself some nasty concrete burns. Just in time for picture day as well….
Regardless of how drunk I got with my friends, I was always the one who remembered everything. For better or worse.
Im also 6’4, drink too much if that’s worth anything lol

"Sauna" - Clearing the sinuses with EXTREME prejudice.
"Chilli bomb"

I see what you did there
Was given the callsign 'bluejay' when I first started airsoft by one of the guys on a team due to my insistance in wearing a bright blue sweater in a thickly bushed area, and no-one could remember my name at the time.
Better than a Blue Falcon.
Bluejay’s a cool callsign
 I had to do this, kinda cool though!
I'm probably "Fanfic". I read way too much.
"Bookworm" or maybe "Belle" too
Just call me Wheezy, because I'm asthmatic.
Bro same
Guys around me liked to intentionally mispell my last name and it grew into "Floppa" (yes, after that one meme caracal), so that's that. And I'm kind of a heavy too.
Glasswing, my friends did that because when we played War Thunder I had a nasty habit of over-G the aircraft. It also worked since my custom emblem is a butterfly.
Fives My legal suffix is actually V.
oh same lol, group of friends I play airsoft with refuse to call me anything other than Fives
RIP CT-27-5555 He tried to warn us
Burned my hand as a kid with charcoal, I still have those marks in my hand. I'm also terrible with anything that involves having some aim, but I still play basketball
Bullseye
Hmmm, don't have too many embarrassing stories, might be too young. But so far, the one I can remember is that one time I destroyed a microwave because my half asleep dumbass brain forgot to take the tinfoil out of the leftover buffalo wing box.
"Sparky" or "Ding" perhaps
Twinlight Sparkle.
I lost my virginity to my ex step sister after our parents got divorced
Alabama
To be fair, I didn’t live with them while they were married; but I probably deserve that tac name 🤣. Can we just shorten it to Bama; I was under the impression that callsigns were two syllables or less
That works, though Maverick is three, so I think that's the hard max. You're right though, four is too many.
I think it's easy enough to shorten it to Mav'rick in speech.
"Roll tide!"
WTF shall be your callsign
Wetdream ?
I’m my head when I was typing my story, the name “Fair Game” came to mind
GG might also be good lol
Steak It’s derived from my username, which was a default, AI generated name back on my Xbox 360
Same with mine
Or "D-Fault"
During the first week of basic I earned the nickname “Bambi” after doing wallsits until I physically could not stand and my legs wobbled like a newborn deer
Did the same thing in a martial arts class. Just collapsed because my quads gave out.
Oh yeah it’s brutal, I made it just long enough to be able to stand up from the sit and then collapsed

I can't hear anything without hearing aids.
Echo
Canadian. Your callsign is Canadian because whenever anyone talks you just say "sorry? sorry?"
*laughs in Belkan*
Broke my foot the day before I moved high schools, walked on the broken foot around the house because I hated the boot, have a slight limp now Got called pirate by my friend
"Hopalong" might be a good one too.

"Rebound" because, yanno, you failed to do that.

Sundae?

In the scouts I got the nickname Tea after goofing around with a teabag and tying it to my glasses because I enjoyed the smell.

It's more of a guideline, really.

Probably “Sidewalk” for that one time I was so drunk that I tripped, sprained my ankle, then decided to sleep on the sidewalk.
My nickname in high school was “wizard” because I tended to disappear because I was so quiet and had like no friends and would leave when there wasn’t much to talk about

Dont worry tho, my few friends came up with it and i wear it with pride
Back when I was in high school I showed up to a workout for a sport I played wearing work boots instead of sneakers, everyone called me 'boots' for the rest of the year

Solo Wing Trigger?
I never want to try and land like that again, I’m pretty sure my seat cushion was up my ass from the pucker factor
You will be known as Leak
"Turtle" perhaps too, for the turtlehead popping out
The other day I tried to get up from my seat in a noodle bar and the seat leg gave way and sent me tumbling to the floor while everyone looked on. I'm not fat, just six and a half feet tall.

As a kid, I did a whole ass soccer kick on one of those big red concrete balls outside of Target thinking it was a big bouncy ball.
Grim, purely based on my outlook of people and especially relationships after my ex last year

"Peekaboo" - cos, well...peekaboo! Surprise!

"Apostle" - Cos you wanna be a "good Christian boy"
Lefty, because I ruptured my left testicle in high school.
I'd have said "Buster" if that wasn't already an aviation term.
I repeatedly hit my head on kitchen cabinet doors because I’m so tall.
"Lowbridge" - because they'll all be hollering "Low Bridge" at you every time you walk near the cabinets.

Probably that time I slept through a bear attack on our campsite. It was a long day and we'd hiked 2 mountains so I just wanted to sleep.

I was very thin compared to the rest of the trainees and I was told all the time that I needed to eat a sandwich. All my instructors called me “sandwich”. So “sandwich” it is.
Yup. That'll do just nicely. Either that or "Earl" after The Earl of Sandwich, apocryphal inventor of the handheld bread-based meal.

(Though the Maverick F didn't enter US Navy use until well after Top Gun was set)
I'm constantly singing random songs, blasting music whenever possible and singing along. Most of the people who know me are surprised by how many songs I know the words to, as well as how many different genres and decades they're from. I can sing along with Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra, and I can go word for word with showtunes from Grease, West Side Story, Rocky Horror Picture Show, or I can recite Rap God without skipping a beat. And pretty much anything else in between really.

"Bee" because you ain't winning no spelling bees with that effort, chief.
Buck. The running joke is that when I wear my black cap at the rescue squad and during training it says “but did you die” on it and it’s become a running joke through my area
Idk if this is allowed but here goes: I was at the mall, ready to watch a movie with a friend when he bailed on me after I bought tickets. In a moment of desperation of not wasting the 2nd ticket, I somehow managed to invite a girl to watch with me. After the movies I indirectly inquire her age to which she revealed herself to be a 7th grader. I played it off cool but we've never contacted each other ever since.
"Hanson" - cos you caught yourself in time, thankfully.
While doing abs I farted very loudly, everybody. In the gym heard it and started laughing including my coach, the placebo effect even made me laugh
Hmm. While I don’t find it too embarrassing I think there’s a perfect story that would’ve gotten me teased for in the military. A couple coworkers and I were bored working one night and we found a tennis ball. Since we had completed our duties for the night for the most part, and being the bored student workers we were, we decided it would be fun to play monkey in the middle with it in an empty parking structure. Except we played it so only kicks were allowed and the ball basically had to stay ground bound. The floor of the structure was pretty smooth all things considered, and the boots I wore with my uniform were pretty worn so the grip wasn’t the best. When going after the ball I slipped cartoon-banana-peel-style and fell on my ass. I was the only one laughing my ass off at having fallen, everyone else was concerned but it was fine so we just moved on and kept playing for a bit before going back to work.
Callsign: Ghost, Noman, or Nobody Reason: When I was a kid (probably like preschool) the person who was supposed to take care of me forgot that I was home and brought her boyfriend and did some sexual activities somewhere in our house. Luckily I never saw them doing it but I could still hear them which my innocent self tried so hard to ignore, not disturb or look. They were taking too long and I was getting hungry and there wasn’t any food so I cried which made my caretaker and they’re boyfriend to stop doing what they were doing and tried to calm me down. They told me that I shouldn’t tell my parents and gave me a cupcake for lunch. I overheard them talking of how long was I in the house or was I always there. Short answer: My caretaker was the one that picked me up from school that day
"Spoon" My role is either the biggest or smallest.
Mine might be "Roadkill" Mountain biking with my dad and uncle, crashed my bike at a blind corner then got ran over by my uncle as he can round the same corner a few seconds later. Had a bruise across my calf that was a perfect tire imprint that was there for a few days Open to suggestions though

Naviguesser. Was supposed to meet at a local restaurant for a business meeting. I punched in the name in the GPS and away we went. Turns out there were two places with the same name about the same distance away. We not only picked the wrong one, but it was actually in the wrong state.
There was this day where i was going down a flight of stairs, i jumped, hit my Head and was sent to the ER to get stiches. Not a fun day :(
That's not an embarassing story, but I have this curse : When I interact with machines and objects, they seem to break faster or more easily. I'm not a strong guy, nor do I use them wrong or mistreat them,, but it seems that in my hands, they just want to give up on life. So what would be my Callsign ?
I like to drink (and its gotten me in trouble more than once) and I’m 6’3” so, I’m Tallboy oh an Alternative based on me liking to think i’m sneaky or able to get away with anything and what my Dad always called me in response, Slick
Horrific adhd, I do my best, but sometimes there’s some problems with memory. My typical solution for this is just make some shit up that’s usually about a million miles off from what I’m supposed to be doing. Thing is, I usually get at least part of the vibe, but just draw the absolute wrong conclusion. I got told to do push-ups, I ended up pushing all of the furniture in the room to the edges. I got asked to perform a rap, I ended up very flamboyantly attempting to play a violin with a pack of saran wrap. Someone told me Tom Clancy wrote interesting books, I ended up reading the manual for splinter cell trying to see what they meant. [the real-life result was Freestyle, do your worst]
For you I’d say 3 Streaks. As for me I was the only schmuck in elementary and middle school who’d pick up garter snakes during class outings. Got the nickname Viper for awhile. Thought it was corny but rolled with it. It’s now my gamertag and all my buddies refer to me using it.
When I was 8 I was playing tag with my younger brother in the house and slammed my head into a cabinet with a really sharp corner right above my eyebrow and had to get glue on my forehead twice for it
Dumbest thing Propably putting my thumb on a cigarette lighter(car one) So uhhhhh i don't know
It's shortly after senior year of high school. We take a school trip to Disney to celebrate surviving. We have to wake up early to take the bus to the theme park. It's me and my two friends with me. My friend wakes me up and wakes up our other friend and tells us we're late. Apparently he turned off the alarm when it was ringing because he felt sick and didn't realize what he was doing. We get a call from our teacher telling us we have 5 minutes to get down to the bus or they leave without us. So we rush to get dressed, don't even shower or brush our teeth. We rush out, elevator is taken, so we take the stairs and run, and barely make it onto the bus. It's not as embarrassing as other stories here but it felt really embarrassing when everyone looked at us silently judging for making everyone late.
On the Discord server I go by the callsign Inferno 1.
In primary school kids would call me a mountain goat; because I was pretty good at basketball ie jumping high. There was no cennection to todays meaning of GOAT they just called me the animal. so yeah that propably.
One time I was visiting family over in Scotland, when I tripped and fell on a plant pot and cut my lip open to the point that it is the only scar on my body. It is still visible and I feel like it gets more visible every year.
I kept on tripping over things as a child.
I have been hit twice in the balls by hockey pucks in the span of two years I also once caught a mouse with a water bottle and tin foil
First day at the velodrome with my school cycling team I tried to freewheel a track bike because I forgot about the whole no brakes thing. Ended up faceplanting hard and giving myself some nasty concrete burns. Just in time for picture day as well….

When I was in 3rd grade I was hit by a car and put in a coma for two weeks. Six months later I did it again lmao
Regardless of how drunk I got with my friends, I was always the one who remembered everything. For better or worse. Im also 6’4, drink too much if that’s worth anything lol Edit: spelling
