And two of my personal favorites: FUBAR - Situation Normal, All F***ed Up! BOHICA - Bend Over, Here It Comes Again!
Its not quite that extreme,lately field and combat training have become a big part of air force basic. its an all volunteer force. If the army puts 6 guys into a room the Air Force would put two, That may enter into your decision as to who's papers to sign. "Oh I want to be a chairborne ranger, I want to work from 9to5 I want to work in the air-conditioning... I want to keep my ass alive,"
FUBB (*** up beyond belief.) And of course, the old standby "SNAFU" need no branch of service translation.
Yup got FUBAR=F'ed up beyond all recognition and then got SNAFU=situation normal, all F'ed up. I like the PPPPPPPP rule. Proper Prior Planning and Prepairation Prevents Piss Poor Preformance.
two cold warrior favorites: Painted on the walls in our nuclear weapons maintenance bay "To err is human;to forgive is not SAC policy"! and(not written down anywhere)" a suck for SAC; is a blow for freedom"! "Why not Minot? Freezin's the reason" "Ammo!" if you aint AMMO YOU AIN'T SH*t!"( In the airman's club on an active base will either get you beer and new friends or a fight with the security police. Peace...is our profession.
