TLAs ahhhh the world can't get enough of them! (Three Letter Acronyms)
Novell once had a book of those one need to memorize in the "Network Book"
I hear ya...my Vietnam service was in Naval Aviation and IIRC, that was before the MRE as we know it today. The Navy had plenty of acronyms but the aviation section took it to a new level what with TACAN, ADF, IFF, BCM, ILS, REIL, etc. I've forgotten more than I can recall. Most folks understand where RADAR, SONAR, SCUBA comes from and what it means but some use and don't know about FUBAR or SNAFU.
One of the TLA's you didn't want to hear was STD.
And being married to a retired RN that was active for 25 years presents another whole realm of TLA's.....HIV, AIDS, MRSI, MRI, ALS, EKG, etc.
I'm just grateful that as I age they're mostly only 3 letters today...less to remember as I have run out of RAM and have progressive CRS.
