Who's Blogging  |
Lt. G's guide to some terms on his Kaboom blog:
Jody: The non-military guy who is back home with the military guy's wife/girlfriend. Jody leads a simple, soft life, and vengeance upon him will be swift and merciless.
Fobbit: A term used to describe soldiers who never leave the wire, also known as the FOB [forward operating base]. Originally used as a derogatory term, it has evolved into a term most often used by fobbits themselves.
Terp: Interpreter.
General Order No. 1: The base order for all deployed military personnel in Iraq that bans alcohol use, pornography and a litany of other vices. Thanks a lot, Vietnam. You had to ruin the fun for everyone.
Frago: A fragmentary order; the ever-evolving update and change to mission that serves as the ringmaster to the Army's circus.
Charlie Mike: Continue mission.
Mikes: Army cool-guyspeak for minutes.
Ali Baba: Aranglish term for thief and villain.
