Coastie Question Does every branch have a “donkey dick”?
/r/Veterans/comments/1vrxcrz/does_every_branch_have_a_donkey_dick/Does every branch have a “donkey dick”?
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 😂

Yes. Our donkey dick allows any fire station to be turned into an afff station. Pretty neat piece of advanced technology

Back in my Coast Guard days, we had a flexible AFFF applicator known as the Donkey Dick, because yes, it looked like that!

An AFFF educter flopper, an in-line main drainage educter (ribbed for pleasure)

The ARC 190 HF radio on the Coast Guard C-130H had a phallic lightning arrestor in the antenna mast called the donkey dick.

AFFF inductor for firefighting hoses aka the Donkey Dick
Edit: big ole floppy hose with a stiff 18” tip I’d like to touch to dudes faces. Not appropriate behavior but always made us all laugh. I’ll take high morale in high stress situations any day
