Rather than trying to find creative ways to subvert the curse filter, how about sticking to that which is appropriate for this forum.  Offending posts edited or removed.

Actually, Mike, I wasn't trying...I normally don't post potty words and was self-censoring, but point taken.

The military vernacular can be tough on newcomers and non-members.

I recall my (at the time "new") girlfriend saying to me "I heard a bunch of words come out of your mouth, and I understood none of them."



(of course, she attempted to use the phonetic alphabet one day to spell something in front of her son, and she says something like "Adam Puma.." and I about fell over laughing. "Puma? Really?"

TLAs are a hard one too. Another forum I frequent, nasaspaceflight.com, has a feature that dotted-underlines certain T, F and FLAs and terms, and you can click or hover over that word to get a definition. Pretty handy when the context doesn't tell you what it means, or they use a term that has the same TLA as another and you're unsure why they're using that one in that context.

Dude.  Same situation.  Explained I could give an entire briefing in nearly all acronyms/initalisms.

That is something easily accomplished, actually.  Codes.  Actually used to have that feature on the PAWG website at one time, before I gave up on all that.

[wuzafuzz]

My squadron is undergoing another ORMS inspection, even though the Air Force inspectors gave us a clean bill of health on the same topic 2 months ago.  So I'll propose the following:

CAP = Come And Pester

RTFM - Read The Furnished Materials

Oh, I know exactly what your version is, and have used it many times. But, my version plays to all crowds, and carries the same effect.
