KEY TO MILITARY JARGONS : EPI 01

                     

                   

Eagle base. This is Eagle 595. How do you copy?

Eagle 595. This is base. Lima Charlie!

Requesting immediate medevac. I repeat requesting immediate medevac! 

Can you able to understand the message behind it. If not don't worry. Guess why. Because you will be able to do so after reading our post. Today I'm going over  ten military terms commonly used in films which everyone needs to know.

1. 12'o Clock : This ones not to describe time but to point the direction towards straight. Imagine there is an enemy waiting for you on your path then you can warn others by telling 'watch your 12.'


2. 6'o Clock :  Yes you guys guessed it right! Its exactly opposite of 12'o Clock. It is to point the direction right behind your back.

"Never talk rubbish at anyone's Six", I think you got this 👦.

3. Negative : This one is simple. It is a reply answering NO or NEVER.

Sol1 : Any orders from the base?

Sol2 : Negative!

4. Bird : This is not literally the bird but to mention an airplane or a chopper that takes them to the battle field.

When the bird is arriving? May be at 1200 hrs.

5.  I'm dry : The soldier uses this term when he is out of bullets to fire and requires some.

6. Incoming! : Warning the comrades about the incoming attack.

7. Roger that : This one is my favourite! I personally use them in calls and chats with my friends. Roger that! is used when you want to tell the speaker that you got the message and understand it. Do you roger that?

My frnd : Complete the assignment and send a photo of it.

Me : Roger that!

My frnd: Whatever! Send it at the earliest😊. 

8. May day : This you would have seen in Soorarai potru. Usually used by a pilot to describe a life threatening emergency. He/ She uses it when the plane is going to crash land.

9. Man down : A soldier is being hurt and is not available to attack the enemies.

Man down! Man down! I repeat Man down!

10. Rain : Who doesn't like rain? But you will if the word come from a soldier's mouth. Yep! because Rain means an airstrike. Save your head by staying low.

This ones not the end. We will come up with another fresh 10 military terms next week where you will get to know what is LIMA CHARLIE. Imagine how would it be to use these terminologies in our day-to-day life. Kind of interesting right? Comment below using these terms in your sentences! I can't wait to see it! Make it faster.....

SALARY FOR HOUSEWIVES?!...

The topic become talk of the day after MNM leader Dr. Kamal Haasan (Chiku buku chiku buku big boss- just joking), announced that the party would recognize homemakers as salaried professional and would pay wages for their work at home. It is not something new to us. This was the demand of women’s movement for years. The Third National Women's Liberation conference, in England in 1972, for the first time explicitly demanded payment of wages for the household work and since four decades have passed. Before going still further I would like to make clear that the views expressed are personal. WHAT? To start simply, what are the domestic work our moms do in a day ? She starts her day early in the morning, cooks breakfast and lunch (In my home both are same unfortunately😂), washes your clothes, irons it, washes all the utensils, keeps the home clean and more than anything else, never ever failed to shower love upon us  despite all her works. Eurekavillage personally want to appreciat...
