Military Talk - What Airman Say

[mic]

I'm retired and I still say a lot o these. Curious if my other fellow in arms use these terms.

I was in the Army, but "squared away" is one phrase that I remember.

One I have never heard outside of the Army was "case of the azz". If someone was mad they had a "case of the azz". But that was 35 years ago.

[Quillback]

BTW the editor made me use "azz" - take out the 2 z's and substitute 2 s's

[Terrierman]

Those are a whole lot cleaner than the USMC terminology.

[Wayne SW/MO]

I don't remember using most of those, standby and squared away is still in my vocabulary. I shot on an AF pistol team and taught small arms so lock and load has been with me a long time.

[tho1mas]

How about " short timer " although I spent 23 1/2 years active & reserve.

[Mitch f]

How about Inboard, Outboard, Foward, Aft, Fuselage Station, Water line, and Butt line.......all terms referring to size and shape, position of the airplane

Also don't forget pitch, roll, and yaw

Never served in the military, but I was in the diplomatic corps and did intelligence work in Eastern Europe during the Cold War. We had fly boys all around the embassy, so I know some of the lingo:

'You eye-ballin' me boy?'

'I've got nowhere else to go!'

'Jerries at twelve o'clock'

'I feel the need. The need for speed.'

'Mayo, I want your DOR!'

'Talk to me, Goose.'

'Did you see that bodacious set of tatas?'

An old Military Pilots joke:

A gal was giving a sex survey on a military transport. She asked the pilot, "When is the last time you had sex?" "1959!"he said

She said "wow that's a long time ago"

He said "Well, considering it's 2115 I wouldn't say that was too bad!"
