Stryker

An Army vehicle, full summary of the vehicle available here Stryker.

What's cool about this lil fella is that it is one of the only vehicles in Army history named after a soldier, not a famous general. The Stryker is named in honor of Spc. Robert F. Stryker, who received the Medal of Honor for his actions during the Vietnam War, and Pfc. Stuart S. Stryker, who received the award for his actions during World War II. Both men were killed in action.
That goofy looking wheeled vehicle with armor all around it is the Stryker.

Skull Drag

Slang in the Army for having someone fuck your stuff up. Usually a threat to someone being insubordinate.

The term actually refers to tying someone's feet to the back of a horse or vehicle and dragging them. Hence their skull would drag on the ground. But in practice it means to jack someone up, either through yelling at them, "smoking" them through push-ups, assigning extra duty or generally being a prick and giving them a difficult time.
Soldier 1: The new LT's a fucking idiot.
Soldier 2: Pipe down man, if the platoon sergeant here's you say that he'll skull drag your ass.

The Old Man

Army term referring to the commander of a unit. Usually used for a colonel or general, but can be used for a captain (who would be a company commander). Since most company commanders are still in their 20's in the Army though this isn't a common use.

Its usually a term of respect, but many times just used as to refer to the commander without any judgement of respect or disrespect. NOTE = this term is never used in the presence of the old man / commander.
Soldier 1: I heard someone call the barracks to attention, sup dawg?

Soldier 2: Sarge said go straighten your shit up, looks like the old man stopped in unexpectedly.

Duck Hunter

Soldier 1: I spent my time on a Patriot.

Soldier 2: You were a fucking duck hunter?

Scroll to the Road

Also known as "scrolling the road". A term in the US Army Infantry for the techinique to cross a linear danger area (Army code for a road).

It originated in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Each Army unit wears the unit patch on the left shoulder. The 75th's patch is a scroll, and the act of "scroll to the road" involves keeping the shoulder with your scroll toward the road. As long as soldiers on both sides of the road do this someone will always be watching in both directions a vehicle could approach from.

So for an infantry unit a road, unless in wide open terrain, is a substantial threat. Enemy can advance on you quickly, and while half the unit is on the near side & half on the far side you run a much greater risk of having your forces cut in 2.

When the order to scroll the road is given Man #1 in the formation comes up to the road & takes a knee keeping his weapon oriented down the road. Man #2 will kneel beside him & tap him on the shoulder as an indication he now has the road covered. Man #1 crosses the road and takes a knee directing his fire the opposite direction up the road as Man #2. This continues until everyone is across.

If both men keep their scrolls to the road no one can ever get confused as to which side supposed to be looking up/down which direction of the road.
Team Leader: First Section is signaling back that they've cleared the far side.
Squad Leader: Scroll to the road.
