We've all been stationed at bases that were NOT called by their real names by the people stationed there.  What are your favorites?

For example:

F.E. Warren AFB, WY =  "F.E. Burn 'em"  (It's an ICBM base- go figure!)

Ramstein AB, Germany = "Ramshaft," or "Headquarters Unsafe" (in lieu of Headquarters USAFE)

Sembach AB, Germany = "Sum Bitch"
If it works, it's a Fluke.

No No No...   The USS ACADIA was the "Love Boat".  She was even called that in the national news after coming back from Desert Storm with a bunch of pregnancies and a scorching case of Herpes!!!

I miss that ship. Best one I ever served on.

True....very true, but I believe at one time or another every Tender in San Dog and Long Beach were called the Love Boat

Cape Cod was the best one I ever served on.

Holloman AFB = It may not be the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from here. (okay, not a nickname but I couldn't resist)

We used to say that about F.E. Warren AFB, as well.  My uncle (retired USAF) saw me at a family reunion years ago, and inquired as to my current location.  When I told him I was in Cheyenne, WY, he said "Man!  That's out in the middle of nowhere!"

I said "No, it's not in the middle of nowhere, but you can see it from there..."
If it works, it's a Fluke.

I think it was also the USS Eisenhower (CVN-69) that was also called the Love boat.  first carrier to do a full cruise with females on board.


USS Enterprise (CVN-65)  Big "E",  Big Exception, Big Enema
USS Eisenhower (CVN-69) Love boat, Ike
USS Wasp (LHD-1) We always serve poultry


Best I ever heard was the USS Aubrey Fitch.....................Always underway but return every year for inspection to catch hell

NSF Diego Garcia (BIOT)  Dodge
