Some more USAF terms, jargon, and assorted nonsense for your enjoyment
Zipper-suited Sun-God = pilot
REMF = Rear echelon M-Fer (Not repeatable here) In USAF terms, used by Defenders (see below) to describe those who are not...Defenders.
Defender = USAF Security Police/Security Forces (usually when performing their Air Base Defense Mission, but now used more frequently) (Wear a Dark Blue Beret)
AP's, SP's and SF = Air Police, Security Police, and now Security Forces
PJ's = Para-Rescue (Maroon Beret)
CCT's = Combat Controllers (Red Beret)
TAC-P's = Tactical Air Control Party ALO = Air Liaison Officer (officer component)/JTAC = Joint Terminal Attack Controller (Enlisted members) (Black Beret) Air Liaison Officers are authorized to wear the black beret, flash, and rank while assigned to a TACP unit (many choose not to don the black beret out of respect for the enlisted TACP airmen who have undergone intense training to earn this distinctive uniform item).
Tabbed = Usually SP's or SF personnel (a few other USAF career fields too) that have graduated Ranger, Airborne, or Sniper schools (not very common). A couple of USAF SP or SF specific tabs have been used at a few points over the years...Defender and GLCM (Ground Launched Cruise Missile) tabs, were used and issued during my 26 year career.
GLCM (Pronounced "Glick-um") was an Intermediate Range Cruise Missile (Nuclear)...Organized into flights controlling 16 missiles on mobile launchers, each flight was an independent combat unit when deployed from the MOB (Main Operating Base). Highly specialized training in Convoy Ops, Perimeter Defense, Patrolling, Fire and Maneuver and NBC Ops.
Interesting note regarding USAF SP's or Security Forces personnel who have gone to US Army Ranger School...zero washout rate (as of 2005, when I retired). The USAF conducts a pre-Ranger course that is phenomenal, it truly prepares prospective students for Ranger School, like no other.
Troop = usually a subordinate (Complimentary or Derogatory) "He's a good troop" or "Hey troop, get your *** over here".
2nd Lt. = Butter Bar (somewhat derogatory) or "Lt" (pronounced "El Tee" usually used when the Lt. was liked).
Brain Bucket = Usually a flight helmet used by Aviators and the combat helmet (also known as a piss-pot before the introduction of the Kevlar helmet)
"Slick" or "Slick-Sleeve" = Airman Basic (Lowest USAF Enlisted Rank - no stripes) Was also called a "jeep" which most believe really came from the acronym "GP" or general purpose meaning you could use them anywhere.
Doc = Independent Duty Medical Technician (IDMT) Roughly the equivalent of the Corpsman or Medic
The Most Dangerous thing in the Air Force - A lieutenant with a map and a compass! (Some things are just universal...LOL)
FLAP = Derogatory term used by locals in Rapid City, SD with regard to USAF personnel assigned to Ellsworth AFB, SD, usually preceded by "Effing"
Goat Ropers = Derogatory term used by USAF personnel at Ellsworth AFB for locals in Rapid City, SD - usually preceded by "Effing".
Red Hats = Combat Arms Training and Maintenance (CATM pronounced "Cat-um") Now part of Security Forces.
TITLESS WAF - male admin clerk (Air Force version) Was still being used by some in the 1980's...LOL
Deuce = 2 1/2 ton truck (pretty much a universal term for that fine piece of equipment)
First Shirt = Slang term for the SNCO in the position of First Sergeant. Sometimes just called "Shirt"...usually by the CO and the Chief.
Chief = Chief Master Sergeant (E-9) The term of address is ALWAYS Chief!!!
RAF Regiment personnel are known as "Rock Apes". The RAF Regiment is a Light Infantry Regiment in the Royal Air Force that has had fairly close ties to USAF Security Police/Security Forces over the years.
I have many more than these....but my mind is SNAFU and FUBAR right now.
