Ya Gotta Have A Middle Name,
See
[ Go to Tips and Quips Menu ]
In the U.S. armed forces everyone is
assumed to have no fewer than three names. If there is no middle name or
initial, that fact is noted in parentheses (NMI).
Sometimes rookies, seeing NMI as part of
another man's name, may say, "You gotta helluva funny middle name. Dya call
it Nummy, or what?"
When an initial is shown on one's birth
certificate instead of a name, the word (only) is placed after it by the
armed forces. So Captain Harry S. Truman was officially Harry S. (only) Truman.
