Army-speak

i've decided to put up a list of acronyms i frequently use so i don't have to keep translating into civilian every time. i'm eventually going to put this on the left sidebar so it stays fresh, but i don't have the time right now. i'll also update it as needed.

ACH - army combat helmet
COP - combat observation post
DFac - dinning facility
FOB - foward operation base
GOI - government of iraq
IA - iraqi army
IP - iraqi police
MRAP - mine resistant ambush protection (my new vehicle)
OPSEC - operational security
OTV - outer tactical vest (body armor)

Southern California was fun. Lots of "medically enhanced" blonds. Too bad we lost to USC. I HATE USC. I love PSU.

PSU = Pennsylvania State University
USC = University of Southern California
