Welcome to the Military Monitoring Glossary. Every service has its own slang; as listeners in the public safety sector,
 +
we hear it all the time - 10 codes, abbreviations and more. The military service is no different; but as you begin to
 +
listen to this realm more closely, you realize that their slang is a lot more involved and complex.

*Columbia PD Police Car-to-Car/Detectives [Ch 3] on 156.1500 MHz was noted as having voice inversion/analog encryption available. I confirmed this on my HomePatrol-1 recording from last night between 2300-0000. It sounded like Donald Duck/Helium and you can't make out the words. Even being off by 5 or 7.5 kHz would not have this effect. It sounded like an in-city contact here in Columbia due to the fact this is a line of sight frequency and not a repeater. March 7th,2016 (156.150) I heard a unit talking to another unit about a crash and asking for more information from when they delt with it. (Last updated March 7th,2016)

Welcome to the Military Monitoring Glossary. Every service has its own slang; as listeners in the public safety sector, we hear it all the time - 10 codes, abbreviations and more. The military service is no different; but as you begin to listen to this realm more closely, you realize that their slang is a lot more involved and complex.

This page doesn't attempt to define all the things you might hear - it would easily take a whole book to define that. But some of the more common phrases are defined here, along with a basic description. Some terms will link to external sites, others to other Wiki pages.

The format used here is very simple - on purpose. This page should be as easy to search as it is to read. To that end, if you add another term, please stick to the format as much as possible. Keep it in alphabetical order, and it will remain easy to search.
