TBS acronyms

[motiv8r]

I was just looking at the schedule for my upcoming TBS class...what do "TSFO" and "EWO" stand for? I assume "WFEX" and "WFFEX" are field exercises right?

S/F

WFEX - weapons field exercise (not a real field exercise but fun times none the less)

Can't think what the others mean straight off the top of my head right now...

FIGMAC is the only one you should be concerned with.

 

[Crowbar]

WFFEX is war fighting field exercise...the ones where you spend a few days practicing the tactics you've learned.

TSFO is training set for firing operations (or something similar)...essentially it's a simulator where you practice call for fire.

EWO?

Fucdpig (probably spelled it wrong) was my favorite

FIGMAC is the only one you should be concerned with.

I always heard it as BIGMAC. Told my SPC (who was a pretty chill guy for an SPC, especially with the non-fvcked-up priors) that once, and he just looked at me all weird. I started to explain how it meant, "B1tch I Got My Air Contract," when he stopped me and said, "No, [insert my name], I get it. I was just wondering what you're going to do when I DROP your air contract."

thanks for the info, gents. Regarding "EWO", Crowbar, we have one week listed as "EWO/Weapons Prac". "Expeditionary Warfare" maybe? And BTW I'm a ground contract so FIGMAC/BIGMAC unfortunately (fortunately?) doesn't apply to me....

S/F

That probably is what that is, though they won't talk too much about it. When do you start?

Also the schedules posted online are very old and there are some inconsistancies...
