re: #62 sizzzzlerz

I know every profession has its own set of acronyms meant to act as a private language between colleagues but could you cut us civilians a break here and provide a decoder ring to your militiary speak:

BN, FTX, 1ID

Sorry, slipped back into an earlier lifetime.

Battalion about 500 guys

FTX is Field Training Exercise where you spend a month pretending to do your real job.

1ID is 1st Infantry Division. About 10,000 men and women. Oldest Division in the Army.
