Dick was used like your “maggots”.

Hero was used when they were not yelling at you. Mostly from the Senior Drill. “Now you two heroes are going to clean some officers office. Don’t fuck it up”

Leg was from jump qualified NCOs. I had one that had Air Assault Wings and man oh man did the jumpers get a rise out of that. They’d thump their chest loudly when he entered the quad.
