Declare by anonymous 2323 April 19, 2010
A radio brevity code used to inquire about the ID of a track, target, or group. Responses include:

Friendly: a positively identified friendly surface position, ship, aircraft, or spacecraft.

Bogey: a contact whose identity unknown.

Bandit: a contact that has been positively identified as an enemy in accordance with theatre ID data. Does not imply the unit or element requesting the declare has been directed or has the authority to engage.

Hostile: a contact that has been positively identified as an enemy. The difference between "hostile" and "bandit" is that with "hostile," the unit or element requesting the declare has permission to fire on the hostile in accordance with theatre rules of engagement. A "bandit" is a target where permission has not been granted.

Neutral: a positively identified ground position, ship, or aircraft whose behavior, origin, characteristics, or nationality indicate that it is neither supporting nor apposing friendly forces.

Unable: the unit or element from which the declare has been requested cannot comply as requested or directed.

Clean: no information is available about the track, target, or group of interest.

Furball: non-friendly and friendly aircraft are within five nautical miles of each other.

All responses to a declare request are given in bullseye format: the bullseye is an established reference point from position is referenced by magnetic bearing and range in nautical miles.
"Knight, declare!"
"Single group, hostile, two-three-zero for thirty."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
