This whole article is FUBAR and SNAFU...
One needs a GOA to keep up.
all REMFs are completely FUBAR :)
Yup. I'm well aware of the meanings of these acronyms and in certain military situations I'm sure their use is esential if one is to maintain sanity...
Hey, Star, the Army finally caught up to you...now you have to go back and repost the 'A's in order to explain ABCA.
Which is bad, because the real breakout of ABCA is American, British, Canadian, and Australian and is used extensively ICW NATO and ASEAN operational applications such as FSO, RISTA, AirOps, and MarOps.

Useful stuff, actually. I can't count the number of arguments I had to break up in the admin office because my clerks couldn't decide whether "Released from Active Duty" was "Relad" or "Relacdu". What's worse, some of our acronyms stood for different things. Now THAT was confusing at times.
I'm series.
Um...yeah...what you said! LOL!
I know why you found it entertaining.
BOHICA is probably the most used over in the sandbox, right now. Particularly when the discussion turns to redeployment dates.

> Well, it seems the construction continued and still was not marked or
> NOTAMed or anything. A MC-130H landed on the runway the night of the 29th

> The MC-130H was totaled. There were several

Reminds me of the 6 foot trigger puller that my platoon sergeant sent an FNG looking for out at NTC.
