Army Talk

So Zach and I were talking about all the different words from the Army that weasel their way into Zach's everyday talk.  Such as, he never has to use the restroom or go to the bathroom, it's always"I have to utilize the latrine".  "Yes" or "okay" is "roger" and it's not "no"... it's "negative", and it's never women, ladies or girls, it's "females".  Guns aren't guns, they're "weapons", unless they are a 32 ton paladin, then it's a gun.  Short word for a big boom in my opinion.  Everything is "too easy", the medical answer for any ailment is "drink water" (spoken to a cadence, in a singsong way), and if you're having trouble, the answer is "suck it up and drive on".  And the answer to EVERYTHING is "hooah".  I can just see our little Esther in about a year, jumping up and down with her legs crossed... "Mommy, latween Mommy, I gotta use the latween!!"  The Army, is not just a job - it's a life, whether you're in uniform or not.
