Military Lingo

I got this from a guy friend...go figure

"Engage the Enemy" means to blow something up.
"Surgical Strike" means to blow up something small.
"Decapitate" means to blow up their leaders.
"Collateral Damage" means to accidentally blow up something of theirs.
"Friendly Fire" means to accidentally blow up something of ours.
"Target of Opportunity" means to blow something up on a whim.
"Kinetic Targeting" means to blow up something that's moving.
"Ordnance" is something that that does the blowing up.
"An Asset" is something that should be blown up.

You would not belive all the lingo they have!!My hubby spent 9 years in the Army,still uses it!!

Haha, one of my ex-boyfriends was in the Navy. Him and his friend Tom would carry on a conversation in their 'lingo' and I would be stuck sitting there with a dumb look on my face. LOL


The only thing I can remember regarding the military was being in ROTC in highschool and recruiters attempting to recruit me. I remember a Marine recruiter telling me that Army stood for ---


A.in't R.eady for M.arines Y.et.


The Navy and Army had something like that for eachother too, but I forget what it was. So funny how they compete, but you know the respect they have for eachother deep down is endless

USMC stands for "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children".

Of course, most Marines refer to the Corps, as the "Crotch".

My son is a marine and my other son and hubby are army,ya there are alot of snide remarks betweenthe 3!
