Rooster would probably been given the callsign Gooseling, or egg. Phoenix - Crash or Crispy (if the reason for that name is she rose from the ashes) BoB, well ok Bob will be Bob Reason Callsigns are always a play on your name, physical feature, mannerism or something you did that is embarrassing, note worthy and has a entertaining story. Rarely is it complementary. Ex Joe Satrapa, F-8 Crusader pilot, F-14 legend, his callsign was Hoser, for when he emptied his cannons into a target in one pass. Other callsigns Lipstick, Revlon (had a tube of revlon in her purse because she was on public speaking duty), Slick (she was not), Stacks (yes she was), Skid (underwear). Protesting your callsign if you don't like it will cause it to become permanent, be given a new and worse callsign or worst, not be given a callsign at all, meaning you don't exist. Your first callsign will probably given to you early on, in flight school. When you get to the RAG, you'll probably be given a new one if you do something memorable or they don't think the callsign fits you. Oh and as far as I know only a few people ever kept the callsigns they chose for themselves. Randy "Duke" Cunningham, original callsign was Yankee. And Pete "Viper" Pettigrew former NFWS instructor Viper is now the semi unofficial callsign for every Red Air lead at Topgun
