5:5 meant that the estimated importance of the information available, as well as its presumed accuracy and the priority for his proposed action, was class-5, the highest.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Good catch Cletus.

BEST EXPLANATION YET for 5:5.

Could you possibly provide the full Clancy citation (Book & page#)?

Thanks.

The first time I ever heard 5:5 was in the second Aliens movie.

Dropship pilot “5:5”

Clancy might have had it in his books though.
