WAG, militaryspeak for "Wild-Ass Guess". There's also TLAR "That Looks About Right". Both are essential concepts in any military operation.

Really these are "Milspeak-isms" not Netspeak-isms

Can't forget FUBAR or the brevity Code words CHARLIE FOXTROT and TANGO UNIFORM <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

All this sounds great, but... what does it means?

Being not english-speaker, I do not get it.

Any help will be appreciated

I'm not too an english speaker, but here is the only one I can make A SWAG at <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

CHARLIE FOXTROT (CF) : Cluster Fork (sp) !!!
(Sorry I could not resist...)

I too would be interested in knowing what the else mean, and would add "SNAFU" to the list <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Well, pilots will know that HOTEL SIERRA means "Hot Spit" - I didn't have the nerve, obviously.

Hey guys....the Milspeak is fine to discuss but, how's about getting back to the original question ?

When might the troops see v7.0 ?

It will be released with the Lost Victories MC.

Is it a moronic question to ask if MC Lost Victories will have version 7.0 included on the disk?

As it currently stands I havent the slightest idea what I will request for christmas this year. (yes I said christmas).
I held off buying the first MC disk because I am the sort that never buys the first version of anything really.

But maybe I will indulge myself this time. Combine getting a burned copy of 7.0 and enjoy he fruits of all Matrixs learning on the first cd.

One last question though. How will a person handle the purchase sans credit card? I dont own one now nor will one be allowed in my future (evil things anyway).

Can anyone give me the particulars to handle a cash deal for a Canadian in Ontario (please include all conversions, postage, handling, cross border concerns as I hate surprises).
I LIKE that my life bothers them,
Why should I be the only one bothered by it eh.

Yes it will have v7.

There is a 1-800 number you can call to order and use MO or electronically certified personal check to pay. Check the store website for details.

Les, I refuse to get another credit card after I paid off mine, and cut them up. But I did get a debit card. That way I spend only the money that I have in the account. Just like an ATM card that I use to pay some bills and for some online and store purchases. I figured you know about them, but thought I'd put my two cents in anyway.
