Jargon

From time to time I do use jargon that may be confusing to my civilian readers. Of course the military is filled with jargon and acronyms. This is not done to obfuscate the meaning of the conversation (although it may have that effect), but to speed communication by keeping things terse. A good place to check acronyms used here is www.acronymfinder.com or feel free to drop me an e-mail.
