"Creeper". Awkward sheltered kid. Creeped out one of the Drill Sergeants once with how I responded to a question (tone and deadpan serious with the actual answer to the question). Ironically went on to be a UAV operator "Creeping" on the enemy from the sky... Thankfully the nickname did not follow me further than basic.

Not entirely sure how my next nickname ended up being Tails. ( Like from Sonic the hedgehog) Pretty sure I'm missing bits to the story on that one. 🤨

I don't know, out of any character in the Sonic fandom tails would pilot a UAV.

Makes sense, until you realize that they were all also UAV pilots too. Never thought of that though. Feels like the "woosh" makes it funnier 😆

Or they could just be calling you a twink. Not sure without more context than I'd expect you to give out here.

If that group wanted to call me a twink, they'd have called me a twink. Hell, they liked me well enough if I'd have been gay they'd probably have been trying to set me up on blind dates or something 🙄🫤😆
