NO! It stands for "GOVERNMENT ISSUE". It is derived from the equipment given (ISSUED) to a recruit (new person in the military). Which is everything. Much you get to keep after discharge. Some you must return/give back.
So, it became so widely used until and applied to the person because the person belongs to the government. Thus American military people are called "GIs".

Government Issue is the correct definition. Case in point: we paratroopers were admonished always to fall to the ground, regardless if the landing was easy or soft (seldom happened anyway).
The reason we had to perform a Parachute Landing Fall was because of risking injury to government issued personnel--the soldier. If caught not performing a PLF (except for HALO jumpers using the Foil) a court martial was in order.

No, the originally for G.I is "goverment issue", I believe it was encapsulated during WW II, gained most of it's popularity during the Vietnam War.
