PFC

Pronounced as an acronym, this term can either denote the United States Army rank of E3, or as slang in the same army can mean "Proud Fucking Civilian." Most often, the second context is used by service members soon to finish their time in the service and return to civilian life.
"By next week, I'll be a PFC."

dirtbag

A slang used in the United States Army to describe a soldier whose performance is lacking.

"Soldier, you were once just ate up, but now you're becoming a real dirt bag. Are you proud?"
