What acronym am I?

Correct on both.


There were at least 3 BADs located in the UK, i.e. not a 'named' field such as Barksdale.

 

How about "Base Area Depot" or "Base Ammunition Depot"?

It's BAD, so many to choose from. British Air Detachment, British Airborne Division

 

Close, I guess there are a lot of possibilities. "Base Air Depot" is what I was looking for. They were major repair/modification centers for aircraft.

Someone else post some new ones...

 

Heres a few to try. I'm not sure if they are all from WW2 period. Hope that's ok.

FEH

IIC

FTR

XFER

XTF

DUR

 

Wow, looks like I poisoned this thread.

6 days and not an attempt.

Maybe a little hint.
All are related to either aircraft or their crew.

 

IIC - internal intercom?

That's all I can think of.

 

I used to post regulations for the 3d SUPCOM IG in the 80s. I feel the migraines returning. There is only one remedy! :headbash:

 

All are related to Crew/Aircraft Status.

FEH = Flying at end of hostilities
IIC = Injured in crash
XFER = Transferred out of group
XTF = Transferred out of unit
DUR = On base for duration of War
FTR = Failed to return

There doesn't seem to be much interest in this thread so I'll let it drop. If someone else wants to take it up then feel free.

@ A-58, thanks for the reply.
@ Steve Petersen Your headaches are over.

 

On the contrary; I thought the thread was a great idea. I was only being facetious. The Army had/has a manual listing acronyms.

Seems like acronyms are even taking over in the workplace. KWIM?

 

Don't feel bad, you just stumped everyone!

 

@ Steve Petersen. Yes I know what you mean.

 

I hope it didn't come off like I was feeling bad. It wouldn't be the first time a thread had dried up.

now let's test your theory.

The following are all Target designations so this shouldn't be to difficult.
First 2 listed should give a clue about the others.

AC Aircraft
AF Airfield
CLS
LR
MT
MY
NOBALL
ST
TA
TO

 

Y'all are getting just too technical now....

 

CLS Claims of enemy destroyed
LR Last resort target
MT Motor transport
MY Marshalling yard
NOBALL V1 buzz / V2 rocket site
ST Secondary target
TA Target area
TO Target of opportunity

Here are the answers. I didn't think that I had made it to difficult, but I guess I was wrong.
Wouldn't be the first time and probably not the last either.

The tread is no open again.
Cheers

 

Here's just a few this time (hint - US Army):

ETS

AO

TDY

Hot A's

MP

 

Here's what I got. What's the verdict? Are any correct?

TDY = Temporary Duty
ETS = Expiration Of Term Of Service (scheduled Date Of Separation From Active Duty)
AO = Administration Officer
Hot A's = Hot food served to Soldiers while in the field.
MP = Military Police

 

All correct except for AO. AO means "area of operation". In the US military, an administration officer is the XO, or the Executive Officer.

Back to you....

 

I'll try to keep it easy.

ATAM
AWOL
CASEVAC
CWO
EOD

 

AWOL - absent without leave
CWO - chief warrant officer
EOD - explosive ordnance disposal

That's all I can figure out. Someone else will have to help me out.

 

Don't be.... sad, cause.... 3 out of 5 ain't bad. Ooops, got mixed up with a MeatLoaf song: 2 out of 3 ain't bad

All three are correct. AWOL, could also be: Absent without Official Leave

as for the other 2 a quick google search would give you the answers.
