de Delta FO, k

I edited my post like 20 times because I kept finding more words I could replace with jargon, plus adding my true story about my run-in with SP.

There are two things bugging the gently caress out of me that I simply couldn't recall and include:

-- What's the acronym/jargon for at the end of an artillery mission where the FO is supposed to call the FDC and say "killed 20 troops" or "M-kill three tanks" or the very-disliked "suppressed [anything]" since it kinda implies you didn't do anything but make noise. I googled "Casualty Assessment" and similar terms but that's not it, and it's not AOR or AAR.

-- I really should know this but it's been 15 years: what's the radio channel that the artillery FO is on? Is it just "Call For Fire net"? I could swear there's a different name.

Effect on Target (Positive/Negative)? End of Mission? By Piece, By Round, At My Command mission and neglect to tell them for 8 to 24 hours the first round hit? Splash?

If higher is watching I think it's "To the rear of the piece fall in!"

Last one is whatever the gently caress callsign they're using or assigned from what I remember.

All I remember about Cobra Gold aside from drinking/whoring/seeing Star Wars was "wong ying" and "palakeet ying" for I think standby-fire and either fire mission or end of mission.
