For your reading enjoyment (and education for those not yet in the military)

While a few of these are universal ("High speed Low Drag";"Pop smoke"; "Pucker Factor"; "Squared away"; "Zero dark thirty") I think most are Marine specific.

I agree. In addition to the ones you listed, "Standby to standby and hurry up and wait" and "Voluntold" are pretty universal.

Each service tends to have its own sayings.
 
So here's some random others I needed to decipher growing up...


FUBAR - (easy)
AceyDucey Club - (medium)
EB Green - (medium)
GeeDunk - (medium)
Monkey Sh#t - (hard)
