Army Lingo - Airborne Unit

Taking a Second Look At the Entertainment Industry

19.05.12

The high-volume production of these videos has seen film premieres to the gallows and heightened possibilities of alarming piracy with equal gusto, just as the movies, produced and released on a daily basis, have earned the industry the number two... The production crew, costumiers and other departments can come in a jiffy and the lights would click away, reeling out a movie for Iweka Road, Alaba International, and other movie markets in the country. Since Nollywood, the Nigerian competing equivalent of Hollywood debuted with Living in Bondage in 1992 local film enthusiasts have been inundated with a legion of films. The cast of a movie can be assembled in a matter of weeks.

What is some lingo from basic training for the army?

Oct 03, 2010 by Zoebabyyy | Posted in Military

My friend is in the army . He is in Basic right now . and I would really like to know some of the lingo .well all of it so I can understand what he is saying when I talk to him . If you could help that would be wonderful .

There is a whole another language in the Military. He is just getting started. I would suggest that instead of you learning the lingo, make him explain it. Please trust me on this, he needs to learn to adjust his vocabulary when speaking to civilians.

In Army lingo what does wetbulb (sp)? mean?

Feb 12, 2010 by Bill | Posted in Military

I was at Ft Leonard Wood many yrs ago for basic and advanced training and a time or two, when it got really hot and humid, they made us stay indoors or perhaps limited our activities. I think they called it wetbulb? Can anyone shed light on this?

I think the point is to measure temperature using the wet bulb method to get an accurate sense of what sweating human skin would feel, to see if it's safe to be active.

What does it really mean when an ARMY Ranger says he is going on a training mission?

Aug 24, 2009 by | Posted in Military

I was Air force so Army guys need to bring me up to speed with Army lingo. I know what I think it means. It means he is being deployed somewhere to do something and then back. Not real training per say but maybe intelligence gathering, maybe seek and

I believe that 9 times out of ten when a Ranger says he's going on a training mission then he's going on a training mission. The other time? Well no speaks about them. Good luck for you and thank you for your service

The Humvee Flew Over The Mountain: Jargon, Lingo and Military ...

t know what a humvee is, I know that cars drive, so I know a humvee is a car (&ldquo. I know guns shoot, so I know an M-4 is a gun. ve read a lot of works in the last few weeks that choose option B. Military writing is a form of technical writing, often weighted down by acronyms and jargon. Planes take off, planes fly. t know a C-130 is a plane. The C-130, a transport plane, took off over the mountain. To my taste, the best war writing under-explains, letting the words and vernacular stand on their own. Humvees drive. The correct answer is A. Good writing is concise, pared down to its essence. MREs will be opened and eaten, this means they are some sort of food. The trouble, for writers, is figuring out what to leave in and what to take out, what to explain and what to define. It took off over some mountains. humvee&rdquo. MREs get eaten. But I&rsquo. Even if I don&rsquo. The same is true for most military nouns....
