Colin Abercrombie English 1101 Mr. B November 5 2012 Works Cited About/careers/usmilitary.com phonetic alphabet. 2012. Web.

November 5 2012 This this was incredibly helpful in showing the advancement in the communication in the military. The phonetic alphabet was created to limit confusion. Since so many words sound similar and have similar spelling, the phonetic gives a direct and defined meaning. The alphabet has changed over the years, though it has remained same since 1957 they have changed 5 times over the years. With social communication changing so does the military communication, always simplifying and improving. "Army" would be "Alfa Romeo Mike Yankee" when spelled in the phonetic alphabet This practice helps to prevent confusion between similar sounding letters, such as "m" and "n", and to clarify communications that may be garbled during transmission. The words chosen to represent some letters have changed since the phonetic alphabet was introduced. When these changes occur, they are made by international agreement. The current phonetic alphabet was adopted in 1957. This site is credible since it is a career website designed to look at military as a profession. It showed the advancement of communication through the years and how they eliminated the confusion in the complex communication executed through daily military activities. It is a creative way of thinking of an entirely new language for the military that can be used across all branches of the armed forces.

Grammar.yourmilitarydictionary.com military slang sayings. 2012. Web. November 5, 2012 This brings the unofficial terms of the military. It was an amusing take on the acronyms that soldiers use in the heat of battle. When the shots are firing there is no time for full sentences, the information needs to be told immediately. This is more of a language that brothers and close friends use, not terms used to superiors. The language used isnt suitable for everyone, and even the quotes used are censored, the military isnt known for proper language.
So what does FUBAR mean? Its an acronym for Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition (there may be other words that can used in place of fouled, but well leave that to your imagination.)

Military acronyms are a very shorthanded way of saying a lot in a little bit of space. Time is of the essence on the battlefield, so memorizing acronyms is a common way soldiers express themselves AQAP Members of the armed services have a tendency to use acronyms as words. it can become quite comical, as in I need an IFAK because of the POC of the IED thats in the LZ. Translated, this acronym salad means: I need an individual first aid kit because of the point of contact of an improvised explosive device thats in the landing zone. This is a credible source, the author seems to have a military background and definetly has experience in this field. I like the way they used examples of the acronyms that would be used in the heat of battle. Not just a word here or there, but half of their sentences consist of acronyms to make things as simple as possible.

It provides perfect examples of the communication between two military personnel and some of the language used that is uncommon between average citizens

Full Metal Jacket. Dir. Stanley Kubrick. Perf. Matthew Modine, R. Lee Ermey, Vincent DOnofrio. 1987. Film. One of the best military films ever produced, it puts a view on the viet nam war that wasnt put out before, but more importantly it shows more dialog used by the military. Before anyone become a marine or soldier they must go through basic training. The military must sift out the weak and keep the

strong, they do this through verbal abuse. Through this film they show some of the punishment and humiliation that recruits must go through in order to be a part of the military brotherhood. The performance that R. Lee Ermey puts on is a dead on accurate interoperation of what a sergeant does during basic training. I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your senior drill instructor. From now on you will speak
only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be "Sir". Do you maggots understand that? If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon. You will be a minister of death praying for war. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human ******* beings. You are nothing but unorganized grabastic pieces of amphibian shit! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no racial bigotry here Here you are all equally worthless. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps. Do you maggots understand that? This is a credible source because it is 100% accurate. This is how recruits are treated during basic training and provides excellent example of communication of a sergeant to a recruit who is not even in the armed forces yet. His job is to brake him, and he will use all assets of his vocabulary to do so. This is considered one of the best military movies of all time as it should be. It provides an inside look of what it takes to get to war, before they go to the hell of war, they go through the hell of basic training.

Miller, Zell. Corps Values. New York: Longstreet Press. 1996. Print. Personal reflection of a man who was in the marines and learned everything he knows today from doing so. He brakes it down into 12 different lessons he learned, from neatness to respect to loyalty. The most important to my research is the punctuation tap. He talks about how the drill instructor used a brutal combination of verbal and physical brutality to get his men in line. There are two reasons for this: to sift out the weak and thin the herd, and there is only a limited time for the drill instructor to teach, orders must be said only once. Better late than never well, the marines turn that around in a hurry in boot camp. Their version is an unequivocal better never than late for want of a nail, a horseshoe was lost, for want of a horseshoe, a horse was lost, for want of a horse, the battle was lost This is a highly credible source, the author was in the military and went through it himself and at the time of writing this was the governor of Georgia, making him a credible source well respected. Zell Miller is known as one of Americas most respected leaders. He recounts the simple but powerful lessons and morals learned through boot camp that all these years laster he still holds today. On the back of the book, he has compliments from hall of famer

baseball players, Medal of Honor winners, and CEOs. The lessons taught in this book can be applied to all aspects of life.
