Another question

[Kathryn]

Okaay, i'm probably gonna sound like a total retard asking this..but what does PT stand for? I hear ya'll saying it and i'm lost :chinscratch: I'M STILL LEARNING!

[Meredith]

lol from a military stand point...I believe it's physical training

[Kathryn]

ahh..thank you!!!

[Lana]

:P No worries, I ask questions like this ALL the time! I used to think FTX meant field training extreme. :) Nick teases me all the time because I end up making up what the acronyms stand for.

[Meredith]

lol Lana that's cute!! Sometimes when Mike talks I just nod and smile cause I really have no clue!! Kathryn, You'll pick em up!! Especially the ones they use a lot!

[ReginaCherie]

you start to catch on. scott uses PT alot! you learn.

[Kathryn]

haha..thanks. i dont even know what ftx stands for..lol

[ReginaCherie]

umm...i dont think i know that one either. lol

[MrsJoey]

i think its field training excercise...maybe? haha

joeys teases me ab military time bc i always mess it up! ;)

[Kathryn]

Glad I'm not alone! lol

[KristiMarie]

ahaha yes pt is physical training and ftx is field training exercise!


You girls are catching on fast!!

I remember when my sister and kari came to fort bliss this summer with me... me and JM and all his friends were carrying on convos almost entirely in acronyms and kari and lindsey were LOST it was so funny

[Christy]

I still don't know what they all mean. Didn't we have a dictionary at one point in time on here?

[Kathryn]

i think that was on the old forum

[littleurban]

I'm thinking we should get a dictionary! ha ha. Whenever I talk to Matt (email) I always say hunnie I have no idea what that means...assuming that next time he refers to something he will remember to let me know what it means....but he still does it!! ha ha..I'm slowing training him though :P

[ReginaCherie]

scott does use them very often. when hes not at work he just wants to be a normal guy and says that those are not normal

[Kathryn]

Ya when J was down on leave back in December he never used military lingo unless he was explaining something to me. But the times that I talk to him (very rare) a few will slip out and I'm like uhh....what?? ha

[snwalways41903]

i still get confused sometimes, and ive been an army wife for almost 4 years! i do know military time like the back of my hand now, haha, since william would come in and say we did this at 1330 and had formation at 1500 and i gotta be back at 0500 haha! i used to tell him the military is wierd cause they just make their own stuff up!

[Christy]

I don't get the time, I have to think about it and count it out. LOL

[Kathryn]

Lol...Me too, Christy!

[ReginaCherie]

i know some times really good. like 1600 is 4, and the only reason i know that is cause rylie was born at 1624. lol.

[Cortnie DeNise]

Theres a lot to remember...lol

[Lana]

lol I am awful with the time. And especially when he gives me the time in Iraq - and I have to sit there and literally take five minutes to try to count out what time it is, and then subtract seven hours from THAT. :P I get my daily math dose from him. And he just sits there and laughs at me on cam. I seriously think he does it JUST to see me get confused!

[ReginaCherie]

lol lana that os pretty funny. something scott would so do!

[Kathryn]

Lol..that's funny

[ReginaCherie]

we have such nice SO's. they do things just to confuse us. lol

[Kathryn]

Ain't that the truth Regina!
