Red (Censored) Hair: is a slight adjustment everyone knows that one Army might and maybe some National Guardsman, but I didn't know that one. I have heard of your RCA term but very rarely did I hear it. In the National Guard you have marines that drill as well so they might use that terminology sometimes around those who were not part of the Regular Army. Well I guess technically I was since I have been under title 10 federal orders for my deployment to Bosnia and Afghanistan. But I still regard myself as National Guard even though technically I was considered federalized and under federal authority when I was activated and deployed. One of the best sergents I had in Afghanistan served in the Marine Corps. He was a very good and effective NCO and made sure we got things done.

@GeneralMagician,
Fair enough, you get a free pass this time around. I used this one often, Tourist: Anyone who has no jurisdiction or responsibility in the given situation. ("Don't look at me! I'm just a tourist.") |

We said Drill Sergeant, not DI, when I was in basic training. When the marines came for MP training and called the drill sergeants Sir, the got AC's (ass chewings). They weren't officers, they worked for a living.

As a Vietnam era veteran the most used expression I remember was "CHICKEN SH**". It represented work for the sake of work. Most of the stuff I did back then could only be descibed a CHICKEN SH**

The expression in my unit was, I'm so short I need a ladder to get into my boots. When you are a short timer in country, that's when you really have to stay alert and watch out. The war doesn't end when you become a short timer in country. It still means you have to stay alert to stay alive. A lot of short timers survive most of their tours only to "buy the farm" at the very end just a few days away from going home. Two best pieces of advice that I got before my deployment came from my Uncle who served in Vietnam and from an Iraq Vet. My Uncle told me "don't be a hero" and the Iraq Vet told "Stay alert stay alive." Simple yet good advice.
