Cole just makes me think of the Old King Cole cadence.

"Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
And a merry old soul was he;
He called for his pipe, and he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.
Every fiddler he had a fiddle,
And a very fine fiddle had he;
Oh there's none so rare, as can compare,
With King Cole and his fiddlers three"

Maybe Fiddler? Lol

I won't post the whole thing, but here is a link to the actual military cadence and a portion of the beginning.

"Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his Privates three.
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Privates.

(Chorus)
What merry men are we!
but none so fair that we can compare to the Airborne Infantry!

Old King Cole was a merry old soul,
a merry old soul was he.
He called for his pipe and he called for his bowl and he called for his Corporals three.
I need a three day pass said the Corporal
Beer! Beer! Beer! Said the Privates."

They always say that if you live on a farm not to name the animals because they will be gone by the end of the season. I feel like that applies to a few names on the list, more specifically guys like Wilson, Graves, and Martin.

Calvert probably just gets shortened to Cally or Cali. Martin Kaut to MK. unless he's really good then you can call him MK Ultra. Lindholm is always trying to push around guys a lot bigger than he is, kind of reminds me of a badger.

Hilarious, love the farm reference. Lindholm is probably one of those too, but badger works.

Matt Calvert rhymes with Fat Albert.
"Nieto" is "Grandson" in Spanish.


I'm pretty sure these are relevant observations that need to be taken into account before adorning these gents with their new nicknames. Or not.....
