Roger ball has been called.

Q

I searched for ‘roger ball’ and found this. From Urban Dictionary:

TOP DEFINITION
roger ball
A flippant way to say “okay”. Instead of saying just roger, say roger ball to piss off your superiors.

For those who weren’t paying attention, on 30 May:

#4360 Insurrection Act of 1807.
[Determination that the various state and local authorities are not up to the task of responding to the growing unrest]
Call the ball.

Now today, 1 June:

“Roger Ball” is the final communication before a carrier landing. You might say “nothing can stop what’s coming”.

I’d posted a speculation that Trump would make the Roger ball call(acknowledgement) on Sunday. I was off by a day is all ;-)

In this case, I don’t think the UD definition applies. IMO It’s carrier pilot lingo to say they are landing.

“Roger ball” was explained by some of our resident naval aviators such as xone. Do a search on his comments on this thread or the previous one.

***roger ball - A flippant way to say “okay”***

Also a book about dedicated Navy fliers determined to convince the Navy and politicians about improving the technology and equipment; can't see how that fits.

Also a a radio call connected with that mil video chasing that UFO off the coast of California. ???

I searched for ‘roger ball’ ...

_________________________________________________________

From xone yesterday -

The goal of every Naval Aviator anyway is to sound cool on the radio especially when stressed [so] extraneous words are omitted when possible. The response to ‘call the ball’ assuming you can see it is ‘roger ball’ or better ‘rog ball’.

From me now -

We can go over “call the ball” again if need be, but it’s in yesterday’s posts. Let us know if you need someone to narrow down the post numbers.
