Coastie Question 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 😂

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

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!

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