:: obscure choice of words ::


Sometimes i wonder, why is military so different from normal life. It just ran across my mind that there are many things which also happens in daily life of a commoner, but the terms used in army makes it sounds so.. Obscure? I don't know what word to use la.. Just in case i end up in a linguistic jargon while commenting on other's jargon. Oops.. Example: we Call it order/ cater, they Call it indent. We call it book of punishment, they must label it with a number 1206? Is it a numeric in some book of law? And best, we Call them gay. They choose to label as 302.. And a possible explanation: 1 is man. 2 is woman. 302 means 3 over 2, or 1 and a half, meaning in between a man and woman. Erm. So is it a gender? Or is it another section of numbering?
