You're right Pervert, I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Messiah's response was partially incorrect, because as Bronk pointed out, "Roger" and "Wilco" are two different Brevity Codes that are sometimes used together in response to a 'directive' radio call.

In this case, LTARecon's 'message' was only informative, not directive, so a simple "Roger" in response acknowledging receipt of message would have sufficed (though you could argue an 'implied' directive to use the new handle in his message, but that's a bit of a stretch as there is no associative chain of command allowing one to give orders to the other, even by inference). 

"Wilco" added after the "Roger" when given an order (directive) means "will compy" or will carry out that order immediately as understood.

Wow you guys take this way too serious  I have no idea what roger wilco meant I just remembered that the  boy blunder said it in this shocking film  If we are gonna take something serious maybe it should be that someone actually made this film it never fails to astonish or amuse me   

See? I really am all knowing.

Your not all knowing, your a very naughty boy 

[Dadsguns]

Yeah, I had LTARadio because I was a communications specialist in the Army. Worked with alot of radio systems from the Vietnam War to present.

Were you ever stationed at Polk with 5th Signal before they moved to Hood?

I like y'alls little LTAR names ~ with the R word at the end.  They're very adorable. Most of them don't sound very mean though ~  Recon does sound a little meaner than Radio though.

My favorite was always LTARget -- Pronounced "El Target".  That sounds all kinds of mean . . .

I hear he would have really Latinned it up and used LTARgeto, as in "El Targeto" -- but didn't want to be known as LTAR ghetto.  That's the rumor, anyway.  Although in hindsight, it may have made him sound even meaner.


Wonder what ever happened to the guy . . .

Neg...happened to spend 8 years at Fort Eustis, but deployed out of that place 3 times. Had orders to go to Germany, but some certain ppl whose, whose nationality I won't say, decided to crash a a couple of planes into 3 buildings...so I only saw Germany via medevac.

The point wasn't to be "way too serious".  The point was to discuss and learn about something most of us in AH enjoy - WWII aircraft, combat flying, ACM, flying in general, military history, the military, tactics, strategy and any mechanics or techniques associated with any and all of the previous.

In my original post -- and if you did not know already -- were you perceptive enough to 'learn' that those standard words used during radio calls are known as "Brevity Codes"?  Or that "wilco" was shorthand for "will comply"?  Well, if you didn't know before, you do now.  And in doing so, though you may not know it, you have again fulfilled one of the three, critical and imperative Prime Objectives Of Life.

Anyone remember the Sierra On-Line game "Space Quest" ??

Only on the Aces High Forums can an argument be made in how to say "OK".

Aces high was about having a laugh for me in a make believe airplane not being a condescending nerd on a bbs  true learning about the airplanes and history was also a fun part of the game, and while I know of the brevity code and what its purpose is. I did not see the point in learning it all as it would have no use for me in game. I must say I laugh at how seriously you take all this "critical and imperative Prime Objectives Of Life" well thanks for teaching me! The bit you put about 'ACM' also makes me laugh from any encounter I've had with you I didn't come away feeling impressed in any way shape or form! Maybe you only put this ACM knowledge into practice with well educated types such as yourself ?!
