Acronyms
4 October, 2012, 10:21
OK guys here goes this could be a long thread.
I love reading through most of the posts on here but even I get a little confused with some of the acronyms that are used today for all the kit that is out there, & to be honest theres LOTS of it so i wonderd if we could put as many as we can togethere: First the acronyme then the meaning. heres one to start off.
A.L.I.C.E = All purpose, Light weight, Individual, Carrying, Equipment.

Re: Acronyms
P.I.T.A. = Pain In The A$$.
E.g. " opening an aeg gearbox can be a real P.I.T.A"
This one got me very confused when I read how the dIffIculty of opening a gearbox could be compared to a type of Greek flat bread
