Military Jargon, slang, and wise sayings... How many can you remember?

[Griff Murphey]

There is the classic comeback from a sergeant you have addressed as "sir":
"Don't SIR me.... I WORK for a living!"

Shoes/boots in need of a shine:
"What'd ya shine those boots with... A Hershey Bar?!"

Boot laces hanging out past bloused pants:
"SNAKES!!!!"

Catering truck, usually AFEES:
"Roach Coach."

Targeted individual:
"Lima Delta" (Limp Dick)

Comeback from a tight-assed 0-6 naval Doctor who has just been addressed as "Doc":
"Does my ass have a boat tied to it!?!"

Wooden latrine with no stalls, long box with holes cut in it:
"Thunder Box"

Army Artilleryman
"Red Leg" or "Gun bunny".

The three characteristics of Armor forces:
"Firepower, mobility, and shock action" translated: "FIREWATER, NO ABILITY, and SHACK ACTION!"

What else?! Ought to be a lot more....

Here are a few more I thought of:

Q - quarters

Pisscutter or **nt cap - overseas type cap particularly the naval or marine patterns

Dooper = the previously cited Thumper (M-79)

Following terms more for the range:

Dope - windage and elevation to the Marines - may have a different meaning for others

Maggie - a miss, from the old time use of red flag ("Maggie's drawers) or red paddle

Sandbagger - a competitive shooter who deliberately shoots a lower score to get a lower classification in order to better his chances of willing a class

Tyro - new shooter on a team

Mouse gun - M-16/AR-15 - this term has really fallen out of use

Finally...
We had a dental officer on Okinawa with a bad attitude. He had gotten a tremendous civilian practice opportunity and the Navy would not let him go. He had one set of khakis he dropped nightly on his Q floor and put back on the next day. We called him ACCORDION MAN.
