Military terms on civ radio?
 

Nowhere else to say this, so I'll say it here: PLEASE stop using military terms on civilian radio. Every single time I :mad: hear "dispersal" and "recovery" my hairs rise. Leave the top gun behind, will ya?

[Under Forum Tools, you will find the option Post a New Thread.] :ok:

Falcon 40*












* IIRC, that is USAF Academy-speak for "Pardon me, sir, but it seems you believe you are talking to somebody who DOES give a fork!"

You could always change Frequency to a Station that is more to your liking :rolleyes:

Nail

You would prefer the word 'apron' over dispersal?

Says it all really...........

Brevity Code 101;)

Seagull 500

So letting you know I'm feet dry on recovery and wish to proceed to initials for the break is not acceptable? Can I PD and call high key low key on a PFL after a sesh of UP's? Happy days then but don't use 'em anymore......honest.

Jabberjaw: you sound to me like a failed military aircrew selection.

Grow up and get a life FFS.

Wow....somebody sure had soggy cornflakes this morning.
The phrase appropriate here is....don't be such a crybaby jj.....:{

TC :D
Harsh but fair....!

Sorry, Gordy, took me a while to find it .... Dolphin 134!

rotarywise: I am actually away from home, (where my code sheet is), on fires, but found a copy online:

Dolphin 132

101 says it all

Albatross 64, strangle parrot, pigeons to mother zero eight six.

Fetch sunray, over.

Send key setting, over.....

My gadget is bent but my canary is chirping...

Lost in translation
 

I don't think I understood a single post. Plus, in Australia, the mil Blackhawks don't say anything on the radio. Even when they are mixing it around the Sydney Harbour Bridge with a bunch of VFR civilians in R405. I'd be happy if they would say something, anything, like "lookout here we come, way below 500', maneuvering erratically"

22c, in a previous life we never spoke to civs simply because our radios were UHF or HF, and we didn't have VHF.

Wasn't a problem, what we couldn't hear we couldn't worry about :p






Then again, civs generally don't use UHF so they're just as much to blame......

John, we were too busy gibbering to each other on Squadron FM to have time to listen to, or much less talk to, d!ckhead civvies.

Ah, call on Custard?

Someone once said "Dolphin 125" was a good answer - mind you, he found himself in warm water after transmitting it (as he didn't know the translation) and so wore it as a nickname for a year or so :eek:

Can't remember the number, but I always enjoyed the sequence that included "take first the plank out of thine own eye . . . . . c*nt"! All many moons ago now, singing:-
"there we were just sittin' in the hover
40' up with the ball in the water
radar's singin' & the sonar's pingin' when the engine stops". . etc. :ok:

Going home to mother, I've just established a Dogbox bearing 250, expiry time if you're lucky.

I would agree completely but i'm POPEYE.

And may I say, a little cheesy .....

Hello Gloworm, please arrange RV with Bluebell at Gravyboat, over.

Go Green, I'll speak first.
