Actually, it has a few meanings:  Area of Operations, Administrative Officer (for civilians working with the military), Action Officer, and many more..

Being former us Navy, I know that abbreviations and acronyms abound in the Navy culture to an extreme. If I were tryign to mail a letter, I would address it as normal but put a ATTN: CNATTU line below the name. This will helpthe base post office help sort out where to deliver it.\n\nI hope this helps.

It seems to have come out of the military.  Originally the A stood for Arse (or the three letter word meaning the same).  Now the phrase has been modified (soldiers telling their girlfriends what it means) by saying that the A stands for Awesome.\nThe phrase is used to express any emotion, but usually implies agreement with what had just been said.

I am active duty, I am an A1C (E-3) with the 96th ABW and I am a Vehicle and vehicular equipment maintenance guy for the Air Force.  If you doubt that there is a job with that discription the AFSC is  2T351 and the job used to be called General Vehicle Maintenance.  Look it up if you want. \n\nBTW, you are lying your A$$ off.  There is no 104th Airborne.\n\nSo sorry, no cookie for you.  POSER\n\nBy posting this question you have become what you hate on here.  If you were a service member you would understand that you don't need to stoop to such a level to find the real people.  You don't even need to ask what units they are attached to.

It's an awesome slogan for the Army.  Too many people took "An Army of One" to literally mean one....them.  They forgot how to work as a team.  \n\nHave you seen the video for the new slogan??  Click the link below, then below the Images, there's a link to view the "Army Strong" video.  It's awesome.  Enjoy if you haven't seen it!!

I'm thinking about joining soon too.  I found a few good online resources to help me out.  My favorite is military.com.  Check it out:

I went over in 64. Came home in late 65.You should start counting in 65 when the build up started. The first big numbers was when Hal Moores Air Cav. got shot up at L.Z. Xray. Then there 2nd. Battalion got shot up even worse by walking out to Albany. The brass really screwed the pooch on that. They could have been air lifted out of X Ray but the brass wanted them to march to L Z Albany. Nobody ever explaned that. There were big numbers them couple of days. Hats off to the 7th. Air Cav.

First off, most of the people on here are idiots. Top Gun was a movie about the Navy and actually "Top Gun" no longer exists, at least not as it used to...(a new name, a new base).\nSecondly, the Navy was great. You will have a sea/shore rotation depending on the rating you choose. As an AO, my sea/shore was 4/3 (I think). After boot camp and "A" school, I went to my first duty station and luckily got shore duty in Nevada. It wasn't always a picnic, but for the most part I enjoyed it. I never did go on a ship, I got off active duty after four years to move to Virginia with my husband (who was also in the Navy). I did stay in the reserves and had a great time being a full time reservist (I worked about 200 days out of the year) and even did a few deployments to the middle east, which were lots of fun (and hard work). \nAs for the ships...when you are on sea duty, you'll have 6-9 month cruises and work-up periods in between those. You'll just work on the boat while in port...you won't to LIVE on the boat unless you are low rank and single. While you're on cruise, you will stop in ports around the world. It's not as if they keep you locked on the boat for 6 months straight (unless you do something very bad in a port!)\nIf you choose Navy, I'd suggest a rating like IT that will translate well into civilian life! This website: http://www.spear.navy.mil/profile/profile/jan01/pages/Navy.html has some good information and briefly describes each individual Navy rating.\nGood luck and I hope you have a good time in whatever branch you choose:)

That is not correct.  A GS-12 is the equivalent of a O-4 (Major in Amry, AF and Marine Corps; Lt. Commanderin Navy).  Your Step is irrelevant for protocal rules.

It was probably something from one of the 46th regiments.  There were 46th regiments from Ohio, NY, Tennessee, Virginia to name a few.  I can't figure out what IOA might mean, unless it was the Iowa 46th and you can't make out the W.\n\nCO. A would be A company.  Right of the line, the first company in the regiment.

I love to see people ask questions like this! When are you leaving... When are you coming back?  EVER HEAR OF A LITTLE THING CALLED... OP SEC?? It is what we call "Operational Security" It helps keep us safe and avoid being killed before we can deploy. Your hubby should know this as well.

O.N.E. = Officer - Noncommissioned - Enlisted\n\nThe 'Army of One' campaign focuses on the strength and teamwork of the U.S. Army as a united force of many soldiers, while reinforcing the concept that each individual makes a unique contribution to the Army's success.\n\nThe first commercial for the new campaign features 22-year-old Corporal Richard P. Lovett, a combat engineer from Tampa, Florida, who's currently stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. \n\nThe camera shows him running alone across the sands of the Mojave Desert, with a squad of soldiers at one point passing him, running in the opposite direction. \n\nThen comes the voiceover. \n\n"Even though there are 1,045,690 soldiers just like me, I am my own force," says Lovett. "With technology, with training, with support, who I am has become better than who I was. And I'll be the first to tell you, the might of the U.S. Army doesn't lie in numbers - It lies in me. I am an army of one. And you can see my strength."

Did you see that last posting about Military Personnel should refrain from making posts?  WHATEVER!!!!!!!!!  Just about everybody on the face of this earth is wondering what the HAY we are still over there for.  I like the way the other guy tried to give an explanation which still does not make sense to me.  To answer your question, I (Army Spouse) find no justification in this "war"!!!  And neither does my husband, but again he is doing his job!!  Would hate to lose good ol' Tricare for not doing his job!! (Tricare is military health insurance.)  I'm not anti-army just anti-war.  There's a difference.
