Actually, that was and apparently still is my nickname in civilian life. 🙂 I make no apologies; I speak the truth to power and anyone else willing to listen.
True story in my corporate life: I was referred to as the “Dunnster” – half Dunn, half monster! It was pretty amazing to receive that handle in the world’s most cutthroat city. I didn’t mind it at all. 🙂
Like a Marine Gunny once told me: Two hairs jumping up on the back of the neck, you need a haircut….three hairs jumping up on the neck means some shit is about to go down, so bang the magazine and charge the weapon.
Change my military mind.
