Yes, you've got to have terminology to have a proper army. You can't just go round talking about stuff in plain language.

Military ......................................................Sensible

Line Of Communication..(LOC).......................Road, railway, canal, whatever (and more precise)

Forward Edge of the Battle Area ..(FEBA)......Front line (the noisy bit)

Hostiles .........................................................The enemy, even if they're placid

Collateral .......................................................Ooops...............

Tactical Area Of Responsibility (TAOR) .........One invented by the clerical staff, this. As if war zones have a county line..

More, please....

Liberty............................. Off of ship and duty until following day muster
Cinderella Liberty.......... Off of ship, be back at midnight
Vampire Liberty............. Get off early, give blood, get drunk cheap
Leave............................... Go home for awhile.... Never saw it
Liberty Risk.................... You are too risky a person to ever get off the ship
Mess Cranking................ 90 days of being a slave to the cooks for every person under E4. Hell.
Contact........................... Hostiles, just about everybody else but your own ship.
Secure.............................. Stop that.
Belay............................... OK whatever I said before, stop that too.
Make a hole.................... Get the f*ck out of my way.
Sweepers......................... Clean up
Field day......................... Clean up better than normal.

Now then, there's obviously a lingua franca at play here.

Mess Cranking................ Spud Bashing
Contact........................... Some twats, just about everybody else but your own section.
Secure.............................. Stop that.(same)
Belay............................... OK whatever I said before, (I f*cked up).
Make a hole.................... Get the f*ck out of my way.(same)
Sweepers......................... Wombles
Field day......................... Bull night

Is bull night a tautology?
