I have always heard BZ used as an official congratulation for a job well done.

NCO's describing a fucked up uniform on a Joe.

"Hey stud...you look like Joe shit the rag man"

"Joe Snuffy" that guy was in all my units....

Or the popular, "Your BDU's looks like it was hit with a starch defeating wrinkle rocket"

"You use Hershey bars on those boots?"

Fucked up like a soup sandwich"

"Outfuckingstanding"

My old 1SGT .. (Vietnam Vet)" I got more time on extra duty then you have time in service" Or "I got more time in a whore house then you have time in service"

Several variations "I got more time in a T10......" I got more time at KP...."

I think as I got older, I used less of these and just talked normal, and saved then for the rare occasion when I needed too...As a young Sgt we tend to pick up these phrases from the older NCO's in our units as we respected the and wanted to be like them. The BTDT's.

Say again!

Looks like many are confusing the shit that runs out of a superiors mouth as a " military saying ".

Just because they were in uniform when they said it, does not mean it is a military saying.

And if you ask me to "repeat" what I just said .... then I would have to question wether or not you were in the military.

If you do not understand the radio communication DO NOT ASK for the person to "repeat" what they said.

Just reply ..... " say again "

I was a Captain (shitty little jobs officer) working for the BG. He never voiced it, but I was convinced that his motto was, "Nothing is impossible for the man that doesn't have to do it himself"!!!

I was always fond of the term, "few brains".

So as a one land nav instructor to another, I'm assuming you've lost students to The Bad Lady of the Woods: Miss Orientate.

"Operator head space and timing"

SGT: How come your humvee wouldn't start?

PV2: I had it in neutral, Sergeant.

SGT: Sounds like an Operator head space and timing issue. Get that checked.
