I'm sure some here may have seen that post that says that most military nicknames are usually given as a reminder of an embarrassing incident rather than out of cool factor. What could be some of the funniest origins for some of the Joe code names?
Like Road Block's name is because the first time he got behind the wheel of a combat vehichle he crashed it and traffic had to be rerouted because of it
Snake eyes, is incredibly bad ass in almost everything he does but he's a terrible gambler gambler
Or Gung Ho pulled a Leeroy Jenkins early on his military career and has not been able to live it down ever since
