They used to call us that in Basic Training. I think there was even a push from on high to get Army cadre to call ALL non-combat enlisted personnel "warriors", but fortunately my sergeant thought it was, quote, "stupid and condescending".
They'd still call you that if they wanted to be sarcastic, though. :(
Is there anything more tragically white than wearing black sneakers, black sweat/track pants, and _white_ socks? In fact, white socks in general. White socks with sneakers and shorts. White socks with sandals (or, dare I say it, flip flops).
