What is your nickname at your LE agency...

[Group9]

Dr. L.C. (often shortened to "The Doctor", or "L.C.").

"Dr.", because I said I wanted to be called doctor one day because I have a Juris Doctorate and "L.C." because my first supervisor used to say I was the worst loose cannon he ever had. For some reason, they got combined and I was Dr. L.C. there. When I got to my second agency and they asked me if I had a nickname, I said no.

None stuck, although at different times I've had them.

In high school, my nickname was "Bones". I got it my freshman year from the baseball coach because I was taller than anyone else in my class and kinda skinny. It stayed with me until I graduated.

In the academy, I was called Hawg because I rode a Harley to class everyday.

When I worked drugs, I usually turned on my Texas accent whenever I was doing a UC buy. One night I wore a wire while I was making a buy and the guys listening thought it was pretty funny. After that, they started calling me Jim Bob. Pretty soon everyone there got Bob attached to their name, Bret Bob, Cheryl Bob, Cliff Bob, etc. Several of the kids I worked with then are now A/chiefs or commanders and they still call me Jim Bob when they talk to me.

I'm pretty sure I had a few others that were never said to my face....:eek:

Now it usually starts with HEY OLD MAN.:eek:
But what do they know, they are a bunch of kids.:rolleyes:


Although quite a few years ago, the guys I used to work with would cringe when the boss would call. Something about someone said the boss was sending his pet MAD DOG to take care of a problem. Dont know what they were talking about, but I did enjoy those little field trips.

(an example, we hand an ongoing problem with a commercial carrier. So the boss sent my unit
to take care of it. Eight tickets later, a trip to jail and a little help from the MCSAP trooper. Well,
they ended up hauling the semi tractor and trailer off.)

Of course, I tend to tell tall stories, so none of this really happened.
Just hold that thought. LOL
Thats it, never happened.

Great stuff!

Many thanks for the replies.

...as in what do your co-workers call you (other than your given first/last name)?

George.

About 12 years ago I started riding bulls in rodeos. The first time I did it, I went to a small night club in the town I lived in. I was sitting there alone with a brand new shirt and brand new jeans on. I had bought them that morning and just ripped the tags off before going out, hence they looked "brand new" and very pressed.

A girl came up to me and asked me if I knew George. I told her I did not. She kept asking me and I kept saying no. Then she said "You know, George Strait" (country singer/rodeo team roper who is also well known for his immaculate dress style). I told her I knew who he was but of course I did not know him.

She said, "You look just like George Strait."

I replied, "If I looked like George Strait, honey, I wouldn't be sitting in this sh1thole alone would I?" :cool:

We got talking and she introduced me to the guy she was with, Mick.

We started rodeoing together and he became my best friend. From that night on I was known as George.


About four years later I started with my frst dept and there were two other guys with the same first name as me, so on the first day I let them know that everyone I knew called me George and so it stuck.

In my last dept my official name tag (on my uniform) said "George" and I have received tax certificates (from a part time job a few years back) in the name "George"

Most people I know only know me as George and my wife always calls me George. I have never heard her call me ....that other name. ;)
