The military seems to have a language of its own, with many terms, acronyms, initialisms and abbreviations that aren't generally used in the "civilian world." What is an acronym? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words. It is spoken as one word. What is an initialism? It is a word created from the first letter of a series of other words, but each letter is spoken separately. What is an abbreviation? It is a shortened version of a word. What is Short Speak? It is any and all of the above. Want to know what they are talking about? Read on... ![](http://images4.fotki.com/v40/photos/1/106521/398438/StarsStripesseperator-vi.gif?1066276156) |

Beneath the pine-studded granite mass of Cheyenne Mountain lie 15 buildings as tall as three stories. They rest on 1.319 springs that weigh 1,000 pounds each and are designed to cushion against the shock of an earthquake or a nuclear explosion. Rock bolts -- 115,000 of them ranging from 6 to 32 feet in length -- prevent the mountain from imploding on the cast, high-tech cavern. Read more here! A lot of us know about NORAD from the great job they do tracking Santa Claus each Dec. 24th. To read more about that, click here!

Totally off-topic (sorry!)
I can't remember who was the wonderful person who pulled those Big Band tunes from the 40s last week---
But if he/she can do it again and find "A Moonlight Serenade", I will be MOST grateful. (that was the one I could not remember when I made my requests!)
Thanks Canteen Freepers!!!!! ;)

My ex-wife could use a burka, they don't even ask if she wants paper or plastic, they just give her paper.
