Each Military Branch has their own Jargon and in each branch there is other jargon used according to the MOS/AFSC's and ranks of the individuals at which levels.. here are just a few of the terms... but there is one that translates throughout them all

FUBAR = F*(Ked Up Beyond All Recognition...

Hog

Here's a quick explanation of modern military terms:

Engage the Enemy means "to blow something up."

Surgical Strike means "to blow up something small."

Decapitate means "to blow up their leaders."

Collateral Damage means "to accidentally blow up something of theirs."

Friendly Fire means "to accidentally blow up something of ours."

Target of Opportunity means "to blow something up on a whim"

Kinetic Targeting means "to blow up something that's moving"

Ordnance is "something that that does the blowing up"

An Asset is "something that can be blown up"

Embedded Media means "a report that's blown out of proportion"

The list is incomplete. Here are some (but by no means all) of the missing acronyms:

BOHICA - Bend Over, Hear It Comes again

FIGMO - F*, I Got My Orders!

KMA* - Kiss My Ass (First initial of duty station)

FTA - F* The Army

SLAAC - Sloppy, Lazy, Absent Around the Clock

DILLIGAF - Do I Look Like I Give A F*?

Honeybucket = The port-a-potty onboard a plane

A serious look at the years of service one puts in and how it may effect your use of MJ on the outside world...

NICE, LOL

Can't forget:

ROAD - Retired On Active Duty (basically someone within a few months, or years if they are really a slacker, who pretty much just kills time.)

Reading Richard Marchencko (Rogue Warrior) taught me a finer stage between SNAFU (Situation Normal, All F**ked Up) and FUBAR (Already related above) That stage is:

TARFU- Things Are Really F**ked Up

When you get to the point that you actually begin to LIKE being in the deep kimchee, you fall into the WETSU category (We Eat This S**t Up!)
