Default military terms.

i never joined any military as some of you have. thus i dont know a lot of the terms as you do. i would like to know some terms to help me making my dios as authentic as possible. so if theres anything you know and you think it may be helpful, im sure im not the only one on here who would like to see these. also dont forget to tell us what the term means and maybe a lil example of when it might be used, thanx.

I know a lot about military terms, weapons, and equipment so don't be shy to ask me if you have any questions.

Here are some abbreviations which are good to know:

QRF - quick reaction force (such as a special forces squad that can be deployed quickly)
NBCW - nuclear, biological, chemical warfare
ETA - estimated time of arrival (good term to use in a dio-story)
LZ - landing zone (where a helicopter will land to deploy or extract a squad)
SNAFU - situation normal, all f***ed up (also a term that could be used in a dio-story)
SIT-REP - situation report (an updated message telling commanders what's happening on the battlefield)
MEDEVAC - medical evacuation for a soldier or squad that requires medical treatment

For an entire list of terms/abbreviations, check this out:

Don't forget the good ol' "ASAP"! :P

Seriously tho, run a script by Frank or someone and see what they come up. I do it on occasion. Or I just watch Aliens, Doom or a Vietnam war flick for language.

Oh, when you're done, can you pick me up a BA-1100-N with an ST- Ring?

I don't have time to look it all up.

In "DOOM", the Rock says, "Give Pinky a weapon and ST grenades."

What's ST?
