IMTV, X-SAPI, FILBE, the military continues with the proud tradition of acronyms.


Back when I was doing some satellite communication development while in the Air Force I proposed my own acronym for a system I developed. The "PAIDS MO-FO". The "P" was the first initial on my last name; the "A" was for "Automated"; the "ID" was for "Identification"; and the "S" was for "System". "MO" was for "Mobile Operations" and "FO" was for "Fixed Operations".

The loved and adopted the concept but firmly rejected the acronym.
