"AmpSquad" sounds like a 80s Saturday Morning Cartoon revolving around a crime-fighting heavy metal band. "Oh no, the Square Brigade trashed our tour van!"

Ever since I saw TACTRAGRULANT I like to pronounce it tac-TRAG-rulant, rhyming with "petulant".

COMHELTRAWINGLANT I saw that on the side of a building in Norfolk and it took a few seconds to parse. I wanted an "ULTRAWING" or something.

There were some good ones I got from Clancy books 25 years ago, but can't remember. I was slightly disappointed that NAWDC doesn't go by NAVAVFIVELTER or something.

No big surprise on my side but we just found out our liberty came with a caveat. "Must be tested covid free before being able to go on liberty". Only place we can get a test is in Naples so no Greece for us. Also I extended until January. meh

ded posted:if you get to do real jp-5 fire sim trainers or using a real hose its pretty bad rear end We've broken out the hoses twice a week for the last two weeks. Today we used the inductor and some of the various special nozzles for creating a fog wall and spiking through the aluminum decks. Sadly no jp-5 sim trainers possible but I at least got to do the FC school for the hot stuff. They have a pretty decent fog machine and next week they gonna fill up a few rooms and have us bumble around in the dark looking for a "body" then play with the various fans some more. Honestly best part of my day. Besides the galley I suppose. One of the reservist IS is a hell of a baker and has been making goodies for us.
