After Viet Nam, LtCol. Neil Gruver invented the acronym ROMAD. This name left a very foul taste in those of us who did the work, getting Air Strikes on Target in the South East Asia War Games.

Get the remarkable mug.Slang term describing a group of USAF airmen that were tricked into a job no one else wanted to do.
The USAF is on the hook to supply ground personnel to the US Army in regard to Close Air Support (CAS) operations. No pussy USAF officer (pilot) ever wanted to do this job, although they were tasked with it. Said pussies found a way to have less intelligent USAF officers (Navigators or worse, Weapons officers) do the job for them (see the adventures of Huckleberry Finn).
These witless officers needed enlisted men to do the real work (carrying radios and actually operating said radios). This is were our poor ROMADS come in (Radio Operator Maintainer And Driver; some say it’s Rough On Mothers And Daughters, although I don’t deny the latter being the case its not the official story). These enlisted guys proved to be pretty smart operators and eventually leaned how to control air strikes much better than the USAF officers that were originally sent to do the job. The USAF officers quickly figured out that this was actually dangerous work and soon the ROMAD’s were running the show down where the shooting actually happens. The USAF enlisted men called ROMAD’s rarely get recognition and get a hell of a lot done. Now ladies, get down the ROMAD barracks at Hurlburt Field Florida and show those men you care!

Get the ROMAD mug.When a friend in the passenger seat of your car randomly yells out to a passing pedestrian some random abuse or funny call, and you quickly pull over next to the pedestrian to make it awkward for your friend.
You should have seen Bill’s face when I came to a roaring stop after he yelled out to a guy at the ATM “I saw ur pin!”
As we were driving past the mall, Joe yelled “hey sexy legs, how much?” to a blonde bombshell. So I came to a roaring stop. She almost jumped in the car and slapped him!
