 Ever stop and consider the alphabet soup that formed the language of the squadron? Imagine four 106 troops sitting in a bar talking about the day. Anyone overhearing would have thought they were either drunk or from a different planet (or both). Here's a few examples. See if you can get them all and then add your own. 1. ADF 2. ADI 3. AFCS 4. AGC 5. AHRG 6. ATG 7. ATOT 8. AMI 9. AVVI 10. BARO 11. CADC 12. CADJ 13. CG 14. CSD 15. DL 16. EGT 17. EPR 18. HSI 19. KCAS 20. RAT 21. MCC 22. SCABU 23. SCRG 24. TRT 25. VI :fire_missle_ani

Add HSA to the list: Hot Section Analyzer--a glorified EGT system on the Six and the Thud.
While the Six was an alphabet soup, as were other jets, they all paled compared to the F-16. I bet it has 300 acronyms, if not more.

Any bubble chaser (pneudraulics puke) would add HEP, mule and HRP. Not to speak of donkey d*ck (bessler fitting). Got a good start on an acronym dictionary. Or a crazy process I saw used at 318th called HUM (hook up mule) and DeHUM. I better stop. No wonder nobody understood maintenance troops (of any aircraft) and thought we were nuts. How about TSD?
