Nine Line

A form of communication used by a JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller) in the military to get Close Air Support onto a target. Not like the stupid "We need air support!" bullshit in movies. Each "Line" is a statement of brevity that represents information given to the pilot. 1st line is IP/BP to target, etc.

the 9 line is passed off to the pilot, who then reads back lines 4, 6, and 8. After that, the JTAC will pass on additional info or remarks, before a "Talk on" (basically the JTAC and pilot communicating to ensure that they are on target) Following the talk on the pilot makes their "IN" call before being cleared hot to drop ordnance. Then, boom. Shit blows up I guess.
Nine Line: (JTAC) "Recoil 1-1, Widow 5-1, as fragged, 270 offset north, 10.4, 3-0-0 feet, mechanized column, grid 0-7-0-7
Keypad 7, target marked with laser code 1688, 700 meters southwest, pilot discretion."

Line 4, 6, and 8 readback: (Pilot) "Widow 51, Recoil11, read back, 3-0-0 feet, 0-7-0-7 keypad 7, 700 meters southwest. Ready remarks"

Pilot requests the talk on (Pilot) "Widow 51, Recoil 11, ready talk on. I see an east-west road with some buildings to the south."

Pilot confirms target location: (JTAC) "Recoil 11, Window 51, call contact on the northern most building in that group south of the road."

(Pilot) "Contact."

Pilot makes the IN call to begin the attack: (Pilot) "Widow 51, Recoil 11, In from the east, 30 seconds"

JTAC clears the pilot to attack the target: (JTAC) "Cleared hot"

A woman on the one to ten scale of hotness that would rate a ten in any other other than California where her level of hotness only rates her a nine.

Nine

A sweet caring person, good friend. Most kind person you will ever meet. Heart of gold, a keeper as a girlfriend, wife, bestfriend or just a friend. She will be there for you always. She will help you with anything and when she is sad, she will get back up and flash a smile
She's a pretty woman with beautiful eyes and good taste in music. Very loud, but funny too. She is very soft but gets hurt very easy. She has good friends and loves them just like she loves her family alot.
she reminds me of Nine, she is as caring as her.
