Came across a few more gems...

19 Detail: Any 19D (cavalry scout MOS) assigned to an infantry battalion. Infantry sleep better when guarded by the Cavalry!

Bandaid: The M-113 ambulance.

Beer Can: M-113 (and the beer can has thicker armor than the M-113!).

Bush beater: any 11B (infantry)

Prune Box: A M-113 loaded with its infantry box...in a Ft Hood summer.

Six Pack: A platoon of M-113s.
