When I was stationed at Ft Sill, OK, I was very nervous. Why? because of the many negative nicknames they had for it. Because of its reputation for training accidents, Ft Sill has been known as "Ft Kills", the "Killing Fields" and "Geronimo's Revenge".

What's your favorite nickname for your favorite military base?
 
Fort Carson - Fort Cartoon
Fort Jackson - Fort Relaxin'
Fort Leonardwood - Fort Lost in the woods
 
FORT LEONARD WOOD-fort lost in the woods
did one station unit training there,both basic and combat engineer training
 
Fort Ord.
Pacific Grove, by God
Monterey by the bay
Fort Ord by reveille.

When I was in Iraq, we were at Camp Anaconda for a while. And it was pretty much a daily occurrence that we'd get a mortar dropped in on us. Security and helo's would go out, and lay waste to whomever was there. Then they'd set up at night with a frozen mortar tube and when the ice melted in the day, the round would drop and fire and they'd be long gone.

Anyways, it got the nickname "Mortaritaville".

Also was on the Kitty Hawk for duty for a short while at the start of OEF. Official nickname was "The Battle Cat" but known by most of the sailors as the "Shitty Kitty". Was the oldest ship in the fleet when I was there.
