(So could NOT do this)

-You can have an entire conversation with acronyms

-You've said, "Good to go", "Roger that", or "Oorah" without noticing.


-It only costs you $25 to have a child

-You've had a dog named "Sergeant", "Scout", or "Chesty"
(No but if I ever get my English Bulldog I might)

-You've used a crooked-neck flashlight with a red lens during a power outage because it was the only one you can find.

-You think his skivvy shorts are hot.
(till you see an old man marine with his junk hanging out... then they aren't cute anymore...)

(O Good Lord!)
