Common MILITARY expressions & vocabulary in everyday life

[@engvidAdam]

Watch my new video about common English expressions! I explain 20 idioms related to SECRETS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oImtl4mPoJmNppI

[@JMBBproject]

Why would someone dislike this? Well explained Adam!

[@armymedicchris]

JMBBproject things reason there where dislike were mostly likely vet's or active duty because he did not explain these very well. Have a military friend explain where he screwed up.

[@josilainebrandao11]

Adam, your English is crystal clear. Great Job.

[@emersoms]

Great explanations! I always hear in games the sentence "watch my 6", but I didn't know it stood for. Thanks!

[@brianjett1446]

I know that it means watch your back. Nearly its use in the Navy fighters. In the Navy they teach what direction your in its always your 12 o clock.

[@friendly626]

Yep i hear in codm mostly...

[@veryepik7935]

Watch my six mean watch behind of me from enemy shot

[@Akros2009]

Thx Adam, i don't know how but i can understand you. My listening is very poor, but you speak for all hears. You are a V.I.P

[@MuhammadEgypt]

Pretty advanced English lesson, thanks Adam! :)

[@lowisl289]

What a lesson, Adam!! Love it, thumbs up

[@AFatT34]

i heard one my dad said when he is in Afghanistan War, he made clips.. "Stay frosty" guess it means "Stay Alert"

[@livetosurvive4558]

Stay Frosty/Stay Cool/Keep Calm/Keep Aware

[@nco_gets_it]

Close...stay frosty means to be cold, calculating, and deadly. It can also mean "stay cool" but we usually meant the former. As in "time to get frosty" on a mission....

[@kristendinh8595]

It goes without saying that your videos always talk a mile a minute. Of course, no harm done if my head is still in conscious state. Lol. You totes make my day all the times. This vid really stands out from the rest of the world. Merci Adam.

[@mhaeanneschannel1738]

Great explanation ❤ very clear❤

[@The-World-Forge]

Very informative! Thank you very much

[@nicolasbost9924]

hey Adam, I really appreciate your videos !! I have a little question for this one : I am french and in French we pronounce the "s" sound at the end of "coup de grace", so do you know if all English speakers don't pronounce it or just Canadian ? By the way I really like to watch your lessons, you make it very clear and simple :) Thank you very much !

[@livetosurvive4558]

Americans don't pronounce the "s".

[@jonathancrawford7109]

No we don't pronounce the s. From the UK here.

[@aubanana1339]

[@yasminelnoamany451]

thanks Adam 😃 i really enjoying with your lesson every day

[@charlesmichaelschmitt6412]

So! meeting, vs. Formation, plus assembly very importent gatherings, but different meanings

[@nataliaserdyuk8266]

Thank you so much!

[@murathankayhan2312]

Hi Adam! I've got a question. In student's language: Does "Awol" include "Escape from the school" ? Can we say that for a person who has escaped from the school in break-time ?

[@duelgundam]

That would be MIA. AWOL means he didn't even show up. MIA means he bailed mid-way through the school day.

[@somalione8434]

I watching your videos lesson its wonderful explanation I'm requesting you to share with more lesson and also some days give as more new words.

[@natiabarliani1990]

so interesting !!! Thank you so much!!!

[@fastwalker2163]

Copy. Roger. Thank you very much, Adam! :)

[@CzechRiot]

*SNAFU* : " _Situation Normal All Fucked Up_ ". Or " _Situation Now All Fucked Up_ " . *FUBAR* : " _Fucked Up Beyong All Recorgnition_ " . Or " _Fucked Up Beyong All Repair_ "

[@capslockkz]

AWOL stands for 'absent without official leave'

[@JorgeGonzalez-fo9pp]

Thanks for your military science class

[@mithunsivan1989]

Thanks brother !!

[@Rusland1976]

thank you Adam, you're the best!)

[@Atlink]

For those who want a slightly more in depth look as to what some of these mean: AWOL: "Leave" is similar to what Adam said. Essentially, "leave" is permission to leave. It typically refers to military members "taking a holiday" or "taking time off" from work, which is why you may hear about Sailors having "shore leave" (this means they can take a bit of a break from the military and the sea, and stay on land for a while!) MIA: used more for actual action. It is essentially the same as AWOL, but MIA is designed to be used in a combat setting (though, not always). SNAFU: Shorthand for "situation normal: all fucked up". This is a joke in the military where the "normal situation" is everything being "all fucked up". It essentially means that there is a problem with something, but it tends to be a normal condition, so it's not surprising. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc.: This is called a Phonetic alphabet. This is used primarily when reciting letters over a radio. In some forms of communication (phone or radio), some letters sound very similar (P and B, M or N, etc.), so the phonetic alphabet assigns those letters to words that can't be confused with another word. When you hear "Alpha", you know it's the letter A, as there aren't many other words that sounds similar to Alpha. It is also NATO standardized, so all countries can use it, and it will be the same. FUBAR: Fucked up beyond all recognition - This basically means that a situation has gone horribly wrong, and it doesn't even resemble what it was originally intended to be. Soup sandwich and shit sandwich are more commonly used.

[@darkforce2669]

Thank you teacher so much, all your lessons are usefully and I can understand more, could you exhibit a video about a medicine next time?

[@ภาคินวัฒนะชัยกุล]

Thank you ♥️👍

[@alexrubidian9939]

It was soooo amazing !!! Thank you !

[@tgabehindthescene7357]

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure roger does not mean that you will do the order. Roger is just like copy but the military slang to follow an order is "Will-co" which means will comply

[@pokebreaker]

Will-co is an unnecessary term, because in almost all world military organizations, compliance isn't optional, especially if it comes from your commander or NCO. "Roger" is contextual, and can mean "understood," and/or "yes." It is a statement of confirmation. If your leader is ordering you to be present at 0900 for Staff Duty, you can simply say "Roger," and that means you have understood what they have told you, and inherently you will comply, unless you mention an exception beforehand. "Roger, but I have a medical appointment at 0900, so I will arrive to Staff Duty at 1000."

[@julianescobar1346]

thanks pal.... warpig out..... solid copy

thank you very much

[@carlosalvesunpol4559]

Your message is"loud and clear", over and out!

[@ericzimmerman1959]

Hello Carlos. I hope you are well. When communicating with "over" and "out", only use one of them at a time. When you say "over", it means you have spoken and it is the other person's turn to speak. When you say "Out" it means you have just ended the conversation. Saying both of them "Over and out", means, "It is your turn to speak, but I'm no longer listeneing". :-) Out should be the last word spoken in the conversation. Example: (Person1)- Hello, my name is Eric. Over. (Person2)- Hello, Eric. My name is Ben. Over. (Person1)- Hello, Ben. I am looking for Charles. Do you know if he is available? Over. (Person2)- Eric, Charles is not available. Can I have him contact you later? Over. (Person1)- Charles, that would be great. Thanks. Over. (Person2)- My pleasure. Have a nice day. Over. (Person1). Have a nice day as well, Ben. Eric out.

hello teacher. I want you to explain to me.. when I watching tv shows or movies.. many words they saying... let find out.. he is out there.. he is out here... let's figure it out... check this out... I really wants to know what does that "out" mean in those short sentence and thank you teacher .. I appreciate your teaching English

[@hussamiraq6585]

I really like your lessons bro , thnks alot.

[@geoffreylewis5435]

Honestly thought this was just another joke video, but then I watched it ... I'm glad he made this. Having served and having to explain certain words or phrases, it can get interesting to translate some of these things into civilian speak, lol. Edit: wrote this early in the video ... just got to FUBAR ... it's still a fairly common term, just fyi. We just tend to not use it around civies or the higher ups, and in more of a joking manner. Example: someone makes a spectacular mess or has a humorous accident, a good friend would later re-tell the tale highlighting how messed up the result (or their friend) was. On the other hand, some of the senior enlisted would refer to how bad a job we did on something by rating how FUBAR it was. Like, "this is so FUBAR that ... (insert absurd measurement/situation here)". Hope this helps add to the conversation, lol.

Can I help me? I am a captain in the Jordanian army and I have a problem in checking the English at the US Embassy. I have difficulty? ECL exam

[@gustavorodriguez3553]

When I was in the Navy they used UA as in Smith went UA Unauthorized Absence.

[@pokebreaker]

On my side, UA means Urinalysis. The periodic urine drug test. One thing this video doesn't cover, is the difference between branch specific terms. Although, that's not the intent of the video in the first place. There are many common terms that come from ground combat branches, versus the Navy or Air Force. Simply because of movie exposure.
