[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm former military and I use fysa. Honestly why does it bother you so much OP?

The military-ism I really wish I could use out here in the real world is "ack".  [b]When you want to respond that you received something, you can just write "ack" for acknowledged[/b].  None of this, "Got it, Sarah!: or "Great, I will take this for action."  A simple ack suffices.

More grating, but also more useful, is hooah. I didn't know it when I left, how useful this non-statement of compliance is. Hooah means, yay! Or, acknowledged. Or, you're a goddamn fool but whatever. When faced with situations that produce nuanced feelings, hooah is able to reduce them to one dimension and convey: "I'm not going to fight you" without all the groveling "I see your point, Tim, and I will consider that in the future" that civilian employment requires.

Yes. At my workplace it's "Aye."[/quote]

I’m retired military and never heard of ack. I use “roger” or “check.”[/quote]
