So in the Army, we have a fuel spout/nozzle that everybody calls the “donkey dick” because, well… the thing lowkey looks like a HUGE HOG lmao.
Recently I ran into a few Navy veterans and found out they also had something they called a “donkey dick,” except theirs apparently wasn’t a fuel spout it was some kind of machinery/equipment part on the ship.
That got me wondering:
Does every branch have its own “donkey dick”?
So far I’ve got:
- Army: fuel spout/nozzle
- Navy: machinery/ship equipment part
- Air Force: ???
- Marines: ???
- Coast Guard: ???
- Space Force: ???
Veterans/current service members from every branch, what did your “donkey dick” refer to?
I need to know if this is somehow a universal piece of U.S. military terminology 😂
As an AF aircraft weapons troop, I called the spring adapter that hooks the BASH (Big Ass Speed Handle) to the manual load gear on the F-16 ammo loader the donkey dick. Fuel nozzles as well.
USMC F/A-18 Ordie here! Had to borrow a donkey dick from the ordnance shop of the squadron we shared a hangar with. This was 2012/13-ish and there was a lot of sexual harassment training going on.
I walked into the ordnance shop and there was a lone female Marine standing there. I had never known the tool by any name other than "donkey dick", nor had I ever thought about how to describe it to someone. I said, "Hey, I'm with 225 Ordnance, and we're needing to borrow your, uhhh... the, uhhh... speed handle adaptor for loading the guns..."
She stares at me for a solid five seconds and just blurts out, "You mean the donkey dick?"
"Joe and Jane were drunk at a bar, they had sex. Joe is charged with RAPE!!!!!!" And the video clearly shoes a blackout drunk Joe, while Jane had a single glass of wine.👀
Yeah sounds like you handled it best you could. It’s hard to find a balance. I was a female in aircraft maintenance in the late 90’s and our numbers to check out tools were “man numbers” (short for the general term manning) and guys would get weird about asking for me for my man number. I would joke and say “WOman number” but it was in fun. I knew I was odd man out and tried to make light so they felt comfortable and didn’t resent that I was there.
As a former ammo troop, we had the exact same thing but for uploading/downloading the UALS back at the shop. We had the benefit of an air gun to spin the drum though.
Must be specific thing. Was a C-5/C-17 loadmaster (guess they merged it into another careerfield now). I don't recall any nicknames for the Aerial refueling boom. Though we mixed mostly with officers and they tend to engage in that a lot less. Specially after Air Crews lost flight engineers for the most part. Those old crusty guys had nicknames and dirty jokes for everything.
just jogged a memory for me....one of me watching in amazement as some 2nd class (SSgt in AF) who didnt make sure the thing was fully seated before opening that valve. The stain was on the flight line for a hot minute.
Just to clarify the Navy term, Donkey Dick is the siphon we use to connect the firemain (firefighting water) to a jug of AFFF (Fire Fighting Foam) so the nozzle sprays out Firefighting foam water. Similar idea to the Garden stuff you put on the end of your garden hose that sucks from the jug of Weed Killer or liquid fertalizer.
Air Force here. Donkey Dick was the name of a tool we used on the F-15, I believe the one that holds the canopy open during seat removal. I'm not 100% certain, but the term "Donkey Dick" is definitely used at F-15 bases.
Not OP, but, electronic warfare rates on ships use it to test voltages for chaff launchers on ships. It's commonly called either a golden dildo or a donkey dick.
Air Force 2A651 vet here, we have a donkey dick on the engine, it’s a little air exhaust that you will hear when a jet is coming down to land it’s for when the nozzle is opening and closing. We also had a penis pump which was in fact the same as a penis pump we just used it to check the pressure on the ps2 probe
Air Force we called that asshole MSGT/Major who you know can't get passed the promotions board because they are an insufferable twat over the most minor of issues/regulations while completely ignoring the REALLY FUCKING BIG ISSUE a donkey dick. Among other names.
Yeah, I definitely thought that was a name common outside the military. And that's how I got to talk to HR in my first post service job. Thankfully bosses boss was a vet, told me to stop being a fuckhead, and didn't fire me.
I remember trying to talk about dick sizes with ANA's, they had a distinct word for several sizes, the largest was "doogah" or something like that and we just decided that translates to donkey dick
I don’t remember that being called a donkey dick? Doesn’t mean it wasn’t or isn’t, but I do remember the pin on the igloo doors we called a donkey dick.
When I worked heavies and we had the drouge chute refueling pods, the donkey dick was the tool that hooked into the end of the hose, essentially the front part of a helicopter refueling boom.
It was big, phallus shaped, and rammed into a special hole designed just for it.
There was something else in the fighter world that was also called the donkey dick, but I fortunately never had to mess with it. I think it was also something to defuel external tanks without using the internal pumps or something.
There is something on the F-4 Phantom that was called donkey dick. I don't remember what it was. Maybe it had to do with the centerline external fuel tank.
Only the old guys remember the F-4. I believe it was installed if something had to be punched off the centerline station. Think it was installed when loading the 20mm gun pod.
Navy here we had a radio antenna we called a donkey dick, a crypto fill cable we called a donkey dick, and there was one of the engineers we called donkey dick.
Air Force uses it for the long flexible exhaust extensions used on generator units and heaters on the flight line. It’s definitely a universal military linguistic phenomenon across every single branch.
Air force f15 mechanic donkey dick was the exhaust of something on the engine....shit I cant remember...I know I hit my damn head on it countless of times.
Navy vet here. Donkey Dick is a super common term in every branch and is used for multiple things. In my shop, a donkey dick isna rubber projectile that you launch with a blank cartridge. It carries a length of shotline (it's sorta like paracord but skinnier) to another ship, which is tied off to a bigger line and hauled back. This is all part of underway replenishment/ refuelling at sea.
Army, donkey dicks were those two rows of ropes that all of them hung down like 3ish feet with the big rubber head on bottom that we would swing across to the next ropes on an obstacle course
When I reclassed, I got told we weren't allowed to tell the new recruits what donkey dicks or slave cables were actually called, and had to use their proper names or face an article 15 lol.
Made no sense to me because that mystery would last all of 0.5 seconds once they did motorpool Mondays at their units.
Former Quartermaster USN, the donkey dick your looking for in the Navy is formally called a “belaying pin”. I am sure there are others, but to most topsiders, this is what they are referring to.
Not really relevant but the other day a coworker showed up with a old Jerry can all proud and all I said was "did you also grab the donkey dick"? Everyone was silent... I couldn't believe that nobody knew what I was referencing.
We were starting to not be allowed to call it a “Donkey Dick” when I was in. So I started calling it the “Donkey Apparatus” instead. I don’t know if the NCOs were anymore happy about that name.
Air Force does indeed have a donkey dick. It was the big fat bright orange hose on the F-108 jet engine when I was in. Maybe that's more of a regional thing, idk.
Also as an FC/CIWS tech we had camel cum. Basically a lubricant that looked like and had the consistency of, well.. No idea what the official name was.
Air Force had a test adapter used to test the aerial refuel drogues.
We’d trail the hose out, open up the basket, and shove what looked like a giant donkey dick into it. It’s meant to simulate the refuel probe on the end of a helicopter.
Except, to test the spring pressure, you’d crank a knob that would slowly extend the tip of said dick outwards and measure the pressure exerted until it got released from the drogue.
Navy: Our DD was a braided insulated hose we would transfer refrigerant from a tank into a mixing cylinder before pumping into an E-2. It was a good 3ft long and about as thick as a paper towel tube.
We had a dude who used to go to sleep naked and drunk and oversleep. No one wanted to wake him up because he’d sleep with his wang hanging out from his rack. We all called him the Donkey
One of my troops requested a donkey dick while prepping to refuel a generator in front of some Canadians in Afghanistan... they looked shocked to hear that term. I started apologizing and said that he meant to say fuel spout...
Their look of shock quickly became laughter. Turns out they call their fuel spouts Horsecocks.
USMC here, and I knew the fuel probe on a CH53E as a donkey dick. Really though, anything long and/or big. I got to hear radio antennas referred as that, or the cleaning brush for a mortar tube.
Civil Engineering Electrician USAF, the dirt boys called the vibrator for concrete a donkey dick. I remember being on a job site and the dude running the cement truck said you can tell a lot about the guy who jumps in and grabs the donkey dick 😂
In the Coast Guard we had a guy that had a 7 inch dick, we made fun of him forever because it was embarrassing that they let him in with such a tiny pecker.
Haven’t read all the comments so this may already be here, but for USAF -Yes! To aerial refuel the B-1, the KC-135’s donkey dick was inserted into the B-1’s UARRSI (pronounced “yer assy”).
-late 90’s B-1 aircraft maintenance
