good attempt, but some are difficult to determine exactly what you are looking for hot LZ I put landing zone under fire and didn't get it; actual I put real officer not RTO; also I always heard civvies used as civilian clothes not civilians generally.

thanks. it's kind of hard to define the terms, because some of the meanings are specific, long, or have double meanings. my dad's ex-military and I had just been watching too much generation kill

When speaking of "non-judicial punishment", the term "Article 15" (to indicate Article 15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice) is used. During my hitch in the Army I heard "Article 15" frequently but never "NJP".
