Since many folk on this forum decided to add acronyms that have nothing to do with "Survival" I thought Id join the band wagon....

RTFQ = Read The Fuck*ng Question

Relating to clothing

COLD

C = Clean, Keep your Clothing Clean and in good repair
O = Overheating, Avoid it, sweating makes clothing wet
L = Loose & in layers, wear many layers that you can remove or add to as required.
D = Dry, Keep your Clothing Dry, Wet clothing means a wet body and a wet body means a cold body.

My years in the intelligence field left me with many acronyms. I have a huge book full of them.

Thank you for this list. I tried to read through carefully, but I can't seem to find OPSEC ? Which seems to have something to do with bobs.

OPSEC is "operational security" or secrecy

MAG = "Mutual Assistance Group", a term brought here by Jerry D. Young, a reknown author who happens to be a member of this Board.

MARS team: the military arm of the Morrow Project, a post disaster recovery corporation, that was started by Bruce Edwin Morrow, who we suspect is masquerading in the persona of Jerry D. Young
MARS teams are not armies, but are charged with Search and Rescue, raids to remove bandit and brigands that destroy Project work, and performing convoy escort.
