We called em bucketheads my 1st tour in Korea.
All our Katusa,s had flat skulls on the back of their heads.
No cranial bulge on the back of their noggins.
Flat like the wall of a bucket.....

We was having a scout platoon keg party .
Someone said the term and reference offhand and it was a collective LMFAO moment.
The term stuck and spread thruout 2/503rd.
Funny thing was alot of us noticed it over time also, out and about in town and training thru out the country side.



Hence the origination of my term I freely use.

"Buckethead"

LOL!!!
