re: callsigns - nick bradshaw becomes goose.

i was talking about this today so i figure its time to write the callsign headcanon down!

top gun (1986) tells us that nick is not great at what he does and kind of flies by the seat of his pants like maverick does (the ‘you’re lucky to be here’ line, goose mentioning to maverick that he just wants to graduate, among others), but what he IS good at is the military basics. his bed during his time at the academy? immaculate. boots? polished. he has that much figured out because he knows its what will keep him from completely flunking out. this leads others to come to him for help with things like this - nick might not be top of his class on paper and in testing, but he’s got the rest of it down pat.

in flight school, when the guys go out drinking, nick establishes another reputation as the mom friend, reigning everyone in and making sure no one gets into too much trouble (in his last year, his status as Actual Father makes this infinitely worse). word gets around about these mothering tendencies, and the nickname ‘mother goose’ is given to him, like the nursery rhyme, for his uncanny ability to take others under his wing. the nickname sticks, even when he is sent to his first post - and when callsigns are established, the nickname becomes official, and goose is born.

bc riv posted a gifset that shattered me: i’m thinking a lot about how goose is just a beacon of emotional support. maybe it’s bc of the literal dad status but i think so often about goose’s talk with mav about how he’s a little reckless and how goose is just such an understanding and kind hearted person. he’s always the first to offer support and a smile and a hug, and has no qualms being whatever kind of support people need, especially mav
