TOKTAPMAC (The Official Keith Thomson Author Page Military Acronym Contest)
As everyone knows the military loves acronyms. Too much in some cases, like Direct Input Limited Duty Officer, a college graduate commissioned by the Navy as Reserve Officer for the specific duty of teaching. The acronym: DILDO.
So here's the contest: Use as many military acronyms as you can in a sentence, and submit the sentence using the form below. Whoever uses the most acronyms wins a signed copy of ONCE A SPY—but the sentence needs to be creative, i.e. not just an acronym dump, like "Some of my favorite military acronyms are MAC, MACA. MACCOM, MACCS, MACDIS, MACLO, MCRB and MCRC."
For reference, below the form is a compilation of military acronyms. Just for the letter M.
