Oh, I believe it. There was a guy on my first ship, a Seaman (E3), whose last name was Seaman. On another ship, Seaman Pool. Both were ecstatic to make Petty Officer Third Class. As a tip to Fast Times at Ridgemont High, I’ll bet there are thousands of people named Mike Hunt.
I am so glad my name is fairly bland! Being in the military, if you have a name that sticks out, someone will hammer it down.
