ok guys liek the title says, I need your guys' help with coming up with a name. Me and my TC (truck commander) need to come up with a call sign for our wrecker. I have a HEMTT wrecker that we take outside the wire to recover broken vehicles or worse... anyhow I need help coming up with a radio call sign so the other guys in the convoy can call us if need be. Picture below is a wrecker very similar to what i have.

the names that we came up with and have been shot down by my squad leader are as follows:
Camel-Towing
Tow-Slut
Big Hooker
Hooker
Cornbread Red
Mater
Snatch Block

so any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks guys!

lol i like them so far, keep them comin guys! i personally was a fan of big-hooker but yea... squad leader didnt go for it

 

[cowboy_dan]

Heavy Hooker

Or,

Crap, just noticed Mater got nixed. I still think that would be the best nickname.

-How about Minutemen / Minuteman (IDOT Sticks To 'Minutemen' Nickname For Tow-Trucks - cbs2chicago.com
)
-A derivation of one you probably already know: Draggin' Wagon.
-Boogie, as in "Let's boogie on outta here!"
-Captain Hook

Snatch

obviously if the other ones got turned down...that one will too.

You guys have to remember,..it's the Military,...and we have a reputation to uphold.

Can you imagine what that would sound like over a radio.."ummm yeah...we need big snatch,...I got her stuck in a big mud hole".

Some PC whiner would have a fit, and notify the Command or the news on what he heard the Military saying over the radio..

ummm....not gonna happen,...so try and keep that in mind when you recommend him some names/call signs...


We used to have a tool called "the donkey d1ck"...someone complained,..now it's called " 4' ogee driver"....I hate PC crap...but I like my job more...

My last platoons call sign was outcast, but for a tow rig Id suggest clydsdale. I picture them pulling a beer wagon.
