A common ploy used in the army to amuse the troops during inspection. The N.C.O will pick up a soldier's boots and ask him what he is doing with airborn boots. Confused, the young troop will stammer that they were issued to him/he does'nt know/he thought they were regular boots. The N.C.O will then show why they are airborn boots and proceed to throw them violently out the window/doorway/tentflap. While doing so, the N.C.O will say "See, they're fucking Air Born Boots, ya scroate!!!!
Hey, what are you doing with these fucken airborn boots, you fucken scroate?? Want to know why they're airborn boots???" **throws boots into the air** "Because they're fucking Air Born!!!"""
One of the three actual airborne units in the United States Army, it's been around even longer than the British Parachute Regiment and it's known for being the tip of the Spear in Germany in WW2 along with the 101st Airborne (Now 101st Air Assault) Theres an old rivalry between the Airborne and Marines. In the 82nd's defense (Even though it's record speaks for itself) it was the 82nd who had captured Fallujah and then had to recapture it after the Marines they handed it off too had lost it; the 82nd is a trusted and much faster response unit than most MEU's.
Transportation Security Administration (TSA) full-body scanning machine. Of course, if you're hard-up and things did not go well in the airport bathroom glory-hole, you might want to pass on this machine and head straight for the full-body rub (minus happy ending unless you have a great imagination and are 'quick')--aka security 'pat-down.'
Well, I'm at the airport heading for the gate. I took off my shoes, loosened my belt, un-buttoned my shirt and left my underwear at home. Instead of a security pat-down, I am going through the scanner, lovingly referred to as the 'airporn booth,' or 'airporn cube.' Hopefully TSA officers won't detain me after they see my naked junk in the airporn booth, thinking I have two round pieces of C-4 taped to a stick of dynamite!! LOL

"Base we've got some square groupers floating outside of Miami harbor."
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
