FUBAR and SNAFU is easy. It's the others I have no clue.

Now here's one I don't think anyone knows.

AMF (AS seen in "Flight of the Intruder". Willem Dafoe: Alpha Mike Foxtrot)

Then there is the Derivative, AMF-YOYO. Usually reserved for goon pilots said to them by their fighter escorts.

I'd be impresed if the bulk of the community knows these.

You know a tear always forms when I see that scene...

snafu and fubar are Air Force slang, but during the war they become so overused by civilians that Air Force personell stopped using them altogether.

SNAFU=Situation Normal, All Fuc|FUBAR=Fuc|

Expression I heard the most in the service was "Hurry up and wait"

It was so true.
