Never heard that one - is it like "wait one" ? I use "turn to" and "secure from (whatever)" when I'm joking around. |

Getting up to leave a restaurant I check the table for "no brass, no ammo"

Yeah - lots of those terms noone else heard of before, when I got out and went to university. I was instutionalized, like Morgan Freeman in Shawshank Redemption.
Calling someone a "rock" was a downright insult. Lost on that crowd. If something is secured, even now, I MEAN DON'T USE THE DAMNED THING. A horse is not someting you ride, or cut wood on. |

On the phone, about to hang up, "...out."
Walking through a crowd, "...line of march," or, "...make a hole." Somebody drops something, "Get down with it." In various situations, "hooah." |

"What's your status?"
"That's a negative." Whenever you describe the location of something relative to a person, "...right about your 3 o'clock..." I'll be there "standing tall." |

"Roger that..."
"Aye, sir..." "Say again?" "No synch!" (when a cell phone goes digital on me..." "I need to hit the head" or "Time to pump bilges" "Moored. Shift colors." (upon stopping after a LONG drive.) "Hoo-yah!" (Various uses, and a nod to my SEAL shipmates, of which I am definitely NOT one.) "Overhead", "Passageway", Ladder", "Bulckhead", and "Deck". Especially "Deck". Phonetic alphabet (ALL the time!) "I've got the midwatch" (when working late) "Make a hole!" "OUTstanding!" "Wait one" (Sometimes I'll even use "Wait. Out.") "Negaitive" or "That's a negative" "Affirm..." or "That's Affirmative" or "That's a firms titty!" "Dink" for delinquent" "Stand by" I use "starboard", "port", "forward", "aft", etc., when describing my truck. ...And that's a NO-SHITTER! ETA: SNAFU, TARFU, FUBAR, and BOHICA. These can even be used as verbs: "Man, he got BOHICA'd BAD!!!" |

"Negative sit rep at this time. " (Out on an ambush.)
"Fire for effect." (After adjusting the motar or artillery strike locations.) This isn't a phrase or term but I thought is was funny during basic training. The Drill Sarge would yell at all of us in the chow line, "Move it up! Nuts to butts! Make the guy in front of you smile!" Hell, I was ready to fight if I felt anything on my ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!  |

Not exactly lingo but I use " DO IT NOW MOVE!" on my 5 year old when he isn't listening or doing what I ask. What about "By your leave." You want me to BUY what? And there is always the good old " SQUAD BAY ,TEN-HUT!" when my wife gets home.
Take care.

Check or Hold.
When my son (6 years old) and I are out and about or watching TV and we see a hottie, I merely have to say, "Check or Hold" If he thinks she is hot, its a check. If not so much, I get a, "hold!" Its pretty funny because the girls have no idea whats going on. Also Check Red and he echos Check Green. Its from Dive Schoo. Headspace and timing if something (or someone) is screwed up. IE you need to check your headspace and timing. Time to leave? Break contact. Hot chicks (multiple) contact left/right Cease Fire (shut up) Dress right dress. To square an area away (you need to dress right dress that shit!) Never realized how much I use this stuff outside the military till you bozos brought it up. |

High and to the right. As in, "You're high and to the right" meaning, way fucking wrong
or As in, "He went high and to the right" meaning seriously pissed off. Obviously originated on the rifle range "High and to the right" - missed the bullseye - Off the paper. Popular in the USMC. Also, "Police the area", meaning clean this shit up. "Get your shit in one bag" meaning un-fuck yourself with a quickness or "He's got, I/we have his/our shit in one bag". Meaning you are a good worker, good trooper. Refers to one who deploys with all his gear in one Seabag. Traveling light is a good thing in the USMC. Locked on. As in , "You're locked on, He's, I/we is /are locked on" meaning you are doing right or headed in the right direction. Refers to being locked on target. Squared away, as in "He's squared away" meaning he's locked on or has his shit in one bag, a good trooper, etc. Refers everything being in it's place and to your area of responsiblity being inspection ready (a good thing in the USMC) |

I'm not ex-mil, but I use 'lock and load' when putting the baby in his car seat.
I know I'm loading and locking (the seatbelt), but lock and load sounds so much better.

Unfortunately, with this story of the 'mutinous' platoon, the media has jumped on 'deadlined' with a venegence. Hell, half our vehicles in the 102nd (2ID) motor pool were deadlined with class 3 leaks back in the late 80s early 90s. Didn't mean squat. |
