Ohhhhh, yes it is.....

Single Integrated Operations Plan.  Nuclear war plan for the United States.  No longer called the SIOP, now its Operations Plan (OPLAN) 8044.     Our courteous staff of professional pilots, submariners, and missileers on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to deliver express-mail packages of canned sunshine to our nation's enemies.

Or, as they say in my current profession, "Minuteman III--guaranteed delivery, 30 minutes or less, or the next one's free!"

And although I'm not a PSYOP guy, I would have assumed PSYOPs to be plural for PSYOP just like OPORDs is plural for OPORD.

Sorry, but....  It is a Psyop BN or a Psyop group.  The only time you use the plural is when you use the full phrase, not the acronym.  I.E. Psychological operations are conducted by Psyop units.  That was the very first thing I learned.  CSM about chewed my ass off when he heard me say it on my first day in the unit.  And this CSM was hard core enough to curl a crew cut with a look.  They even have a hair cut at Ft Bragg named after the guy.  A Bunty cut.  All you had to do was go into the barber shop on smoke bomb hill and say I want a bunty cut and you came out so close to bald that you were almost out of reg.( from 0 to no more than 3", tapered, off the ear and off the collar)  A bunty cut, the taper started about 3" above the ear.....

In fact, at US Strategic Command, (who is now responsible for both nuclear and psyop planning), they've had a problem because "SIOP" and "Psyop" sound the same when spoken.  They differentiate by saying "syop with a P" anytime they're talking about the latter.

The only time its ok to use the S at the end of PSYOP is if you are intentionaly mispronouncing PSYOP IE:

PiSops:  The standard operating procudure for the use of 3.14

Cyclops:  the one eyed wonder worm used to do the mind altering procreation procedure.

"Dash One" refers to the operator's manual (or user's guide) for a particular piece of equipment.  Every military tech manual is asigned an alpha-numerical identifyer.  The ones which end with a suffix of "-1" are the most basic and simplified version designed for the typical user.

The 'paper assholes' I am familar with are the little round doughnut shaped re-enforcements used to go around the hole puches in paper. Pilots use this term for the little paper things since they are constantly pulling out pages of old regs, traffic patterns, radio frequencies, etc and putting in new ones. The paper tends to wear at the hole punch and thus, paper assholes are use to hold them together.
