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) |

That song, and that entire album came out while I was still in the Army. I used to listen to that album over and over again way back when.
I have owned it ever since in cassette, LP, CD,. and MP3. My hard drive crashed 2 years ago, and I lost about 2000 MP3s, that album included.
I do not listen to a lot of music, but this stuff touches me. I simply cannot help it.
Thank You!
