When out in the badlands of Iraq, we ate these hidious things. Personally the tootsie rools and gum is all I got out of them that I liked. The hamburger patty smelled and tasted like cat food. However the handy-dandy heaters worked excellent. As for the toilet paper ration, well that was a joke in itself (2 squares per man perhaps), and considereing the 'tap ass', we had from time to time, you'd need 100 MREs to wipe one's ass with success :)
 
"oxygen thief" - useless individual
"waste of rations" - see above
"numpty" - not a totally useless individual
"egg welder" - Cooks in general

Tap***??? You'll have to elaborate just a smidge for me... could this be like "touchin' cloth, turtle heads,et al" or more like "**** that hurts, oh no, gotta go again..."??

Faucet bottom.
 
Unpleasant. Sort of like "Swamp***", especially when your sh|t-tickets are "John Wayne"

Actually, Bloggins is no longer deemed acceptable to be used, since we now have (at least) one in the CF.

I can say with some authority that there are no actual serving Bloggins in the CF.  There is one in the GAL, a Cpl, but a quick look at the properties will show it's ficticious.

May he/she live on in our legends.  :salute:
 
Hey,


I have access to the CF DWAN and there is a Cpl Boggins listed at Sigs in Edmonton, is this who your talking about?

I doubt TIS would put up a ficticious name.........

But his position is listed as Ops O.  I've never met too many Cpl's that are Op's Os before  ;)
 
If you dug out some of your old PER's you might find....

F.O.B - Focus of Blame, the person usually identified early in the planning stages in case sh$t happens later on.

RSM - Regimental Sh$t Magnet, always a good choice to be the FOB.
 
Eye in the sky,

Yah I noticed that to - was scratchin my head at that one!

Some days, it just falls in your lap.  In the early 1900s, for a few years, the Regiment's official name was the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry, or R.C.R.I.

This e-bay auction is for a stand of cards used to tag incubators.

I've noticed several of these acronyms being tossed around, for example REMF (Rear Echelon Mother F-----) and FNG (F--ing New Guy). I've also seen relatively new members to the CF being chided for their use.

Do you think that's appropriate? I personally shy away from the terms but are there an official acronyms to describe "back-line support troops"  or "new members who [as new guys do] make lots of mistakes."

I guess I can understand someone getting chided for using the term FNG when they're in BMQ or just out of it, but what about REMF? You've gotta call them something, right? ;)

Edit for grammar.
