Father Kit Cool Gun Garth Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Thanks Joe. Always enjoy seeing old newspaper articles, especially when they reflect the types of funny memes that get posted to our forum. I have to admit though that your title had me thinking a different rank confusion:
Pat Riot Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 When I graduated High School there was a kid named Marty Seamen at that high school. When I was in Boot Camp, on mess duty, who should come through my line? None other than Seaman Recruit Seaman. I lost track of him but I am sure his name caused him some problems and probably some funny situations.
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Don’t forget Major Major Major.

He was army so he said there was less confusion during his hitch.
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 John Darling, a Sheriff in Cache County, Utah used to tell about a Naval officer who chewed out a female LJG for calling him darling. After it got straightened out, and quite a number of years later, they got married (He and the lady officer, not chewer-outter). I've known a bunch of people with unusual names. Jack Frost...Woodland, Washington Walter Raleigh...Logan, Utah William Tell...Seal Beach, California John Wayne (x2)...Parris Island, SC and Machinato, Okinawa Dale Evans (he had a hard time with that)...Logan, Utah Nova Caine...Logan, Utah Bill Bailey (x 2)...Kadena,Okinawa and Pomona, California Harry Bald...SannDimas, California

Nasty Newt # 7365 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 There was a Commander Commander stationed at China Lake in the 80s.
Dutch Wheeler Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 A young lady that I have worked with for nearly 20 years, her maiden name is Ensign. She had a brother, that served in the Navy, and made it to the rank of Ensign. So, you guessed it, he was known as Ensign Ensign!
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 When I worked at Hallmark Cards, there was an artist named Bunny Muchmore and a forklift driver named Junior Wrinkles. These were their given names.
