You might be a "Tommy Tactical" if...

[ViperJock]

Lol. You forgot: "you are deeply personally offended by this post and unable to laugh at yourself..."

How many of those do you have to have before your "tacticalicity" is too tacticool?

Guilty of the "zero" instead of "oh" but in all fairness I was doing that before it was (tacti)cool.

 

[churchmouse]

proud to say I dont fit any of the above

Wow...I to hope you never need to bolt and run for cover. BOB covers everything That could be anything from a flood to a mass fire. Tornadoes are a ***** as well. Just saying....hope you never need one.

Meth central is just about any place that is "Urban" these days. Sister has issues with some locals that I am positive are on the s%#t. She is in between Monrovia and Martinsville.
Other family in Putnam Co. have lost members to the idiocy and it is rampant out there.

With some slight modifications... OUCH.

The entire reason I posted this thread is that it was a fun way to show how gun owners have their own language, customs, and patterns of thought. I actually believe that a little "Tommy Tactical" is a good thing. The Tacticality mindset allows clear and safe navigation through an increasingly muddied world. If I were to check off everything that I am a little guilty of, it would make me giggle at myself. Have a safe and tactical day INGO memebers. I and the K9 unit are late on our DMP.

I'm sitting here at my Tactical Internet Access Portal, wearing Tactical Undergarments, when I just realized, I normally travel to town with only one gun and 24 rounds of .45 ammo. I don't expect trouble, but now I feel undergunned. Need to carry more pistol magazines and keep an AR with 100+ rnds in my tactical response vehicle.

I've been lined up with several of those for years, even before my first firearm, so they just come naturally. Oh is not a number. That offends me viscerally. GMT (now UTC "coordinated universal time" or just "zulu") comes into ham radio, and I'm [STRIKE]disappointed[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]annoyed[/STRIKE] furious at any clock I have that won't do 24 hour time. Phonetics comes from radio as well, and I'm amused by the lame police ones.

I'm amused by the lame police ones.

There's others? Like what?
Or maybe I'm using the lame police ones and I don't know it. Here's the ones I use; Alpha Bravo Charlie Delta Echo Foxtrot Golf Hotel India Juliette Kilo Lima Mark November Oscar Papa Quebec Romeo Sierra Tango Uniform Victor Whiskey X-ray Yankee Zulu...
What others are there?

 

[Lagrange]

I think I'm too fat to be tactical...cant imagine stretching under armor over my generous physic...but it appears I'm guilty of many offenses. Could be my childhood spent as an army brat and having a brother that's a lifer. It grows on you...and the lingo is succinct.
Thanks for the laugh!

 

[rooster]

I'm pretty certain most military members can claim at least a dozen of these

 

[churchmouse]

I went through the list with the boys and they got a good laugh. Guilty on several counts but no one walks around all " T-Tommied" around here.

 

[jbombelli]

14) you start the 5000th humorous thread on a gun forum pointing these things out.
15) I am the baddest man on the internet.


Bonjour.

100) You have more than 4,000 posts on a gun forum.

You can't get to be the Baddest Man on the Internet without posting.

If you worship at the alter of James Yeager and bow toward Camden, TN every evening like it's Mecca.

Huh. Weird. You'd think they'd all be the same for the sake of clarity.
Thanks for the link.

I think its clear by using almost any easily recognizable word.
A single sound can be misinterpreted. V-D-E too hard to differentiate.
Vegan-Dunkin-Echo works just as good.

You're welcome. Kind'a explains why the LEO phonetics are sometimes (usually?) considered 'lame'. I wonder if 911 dispatchers have to be fluent in both alphabets.

 

[CitiusFortius]

The only thing in the original list that I'm guilty of is calling my paycheck an LES. But then again I do work for the DoD (civilian though).

I'm not an offender of anything on the list really, although I do rather like the idea of calling my dog my k-9 unit.

FTFY...

I refuse to answer how many of these may or may not be true I blame the Army

Hahaha!!! You're right, and I bet you can NOT name the cousin I was chatting with while INGOing.
I'll give you a hint. I already typed it.

You have a cousin Oscar? Awesome!!

LOL!! No... two cousins, Mike and Mark. I was talkin' to the wrong one, I guess!
But once I had a fish named Oscar! Because guess what kind of fish it was!
