OK..in case you younger guys didn't know it PCOD = Puzzy Cut Off Date (normally ten days before the TDY is over so you dont bring home anything BUT luggage).

I'm kind of surprised this one didn't start off a riff of it's own. In the early '80s the Juvats had lots of PCOD rules (it was 69 days before your DEROS in that era). You had to avoid the use of certain words with connotations that would over-excite the Two Snakes. The only exception to these rules was if the individual had gotten lucky in the past 24 hours...some restrictions applied.

Head - "Who said head...I'll take some of that"...translated to cranium, as in Cranium on out of here.

Box - as in Accessory Gear Drive Container.

There are more that I've spaced, but you can recover most everything with "so to speak/sts"...highlight the innuendo that most non-fighter types wouldn't have even noticed without the sts.

I know this has spread to be USAF universal, but during our friendly rivalry, the Pantons would studiously ignore the rules.

But the Whoodat's had more fun and we were stuck with the stupid Cowboy based party suits that made you look like Elvis in his Blue phase...we had to do something to abuse the 80th beyond doing a roofstomp from the Cathouse 2nd floor to the Head Hunter Hootch on the first.

Other USAF slang is discussed here:

When you guys are not going anywhere in particular, we'll tag you on the radar as JFA for the destination. Just F#@king Around or Just Flying Around depending on the JAFO's in the background...

Here are some that we use in TuAF:

LANTIRN Pods: BALLS or TESTICLES

We used to call the fuel barn at Eielson the FOREVER BARN

This may be obvious to us 16 guys, but I did not see it posted. The external wing tanks were known as 370s because they held 370 gallons of fuel.

Bingo fuel Low fuel lights are on

Not to pick nits or anything ('cause you flew and I didn't) but in the Viper there's a diff between Low Fuel and BINGO fuel. Low Fuel lights come on when there's an actual low fuel state, whereas BINGO fuel is a predetermined number for the minimum amount of gas needed to safely RTB or recover to another site.

Maybe 'twas different in the Vark?
