I don't know what made me think of this but one of my DS's, with a dead serious face and glaring eyes, would call us "Silly.com" if we were jacked up. It was such a ridiculous and equally funny thing to call someone, especially when you're getting yelled at that I figured there has to be some other really good ones out there.
In context he would call us "Silly.com" in the way Sr NCO's may call say "Ellll-Teee" to finish off a sentence ("What are you going with that, Elll-Teee?!").

My Drill Sergeants had some colorful ones. One dude from my platoon was nicknamed Wolfy because the way his hairline looked with a shaved head; it came to a fine point like Eddie Munster coupled with how red his eyes were when we came out of the gas chamber. Another guy continued to wear his civilian transition glasses because his BCGs took a while to make; he was nicknamed Cool Hand Luke.

SSG Carlos Madden - The Drill Sergeants were ready to kill him the day they picked us up from Reception. He tried explaining, but to no avail. It took the Drill Sergeants calling the Vision section at 43rd AG to get it solved. He didn't get his BCGs until about Week 3 of Basic.
