Peters was a REMF. For civilians the term is degrading and used by real combat troops. REMF means rear echelon MF. Peters was MI.
The troops of today use other terms. I still use REMF when I want to denigrate somebody and new troops turn to me with a questioning look. I explain what it means and they laugh. Many have told me they were going to start using REMF so as to use something "new."
What goes around, comes around.
