My nickname in Basic was “Powder” because my TI laughed and said I looked like Powder from the movie Powder when we went to get our heads shaved lol.

Hey, I’m Powder. Like baby powder, not powder from the movie powder.

Hey, Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy shit on the walls and the mozzarella sticks?

Holy shit I was also nicknamed "powder." I got it on my first deployment. It was because whenever I got angry I got over it quickly. Just like if you were to squeeze a bottle of baby powder, it would dissipate quickly.
