    ETA
    I guess this one is short for "Estimated Time ...", maybe "Estimated Time to Arrival"?

    RTB
    Retreat To Base?

    ETA = Estimated Time Of Arrival

    RTB = Return to Base

    OK?

    Moving to OT
    If someone reports an issue/complains about the Alpha etc, replying in the thread "dude it's an alpha" doesn't really help anyone! Point them to the Arma3 Alpha feedback tracker instead please!

    Please do not PM or Email me directly about your CD Key issues, follow the guidance in this thread instead.

    In NO particular order:

    IMHO = In My Humble/Honest Oppinion
    FUBAR = ok, we all know that one
    OP = Observation Post
    CP = Check Point
    LZ = Landing Zone
    DZ = Drop Zone
    DMZ = DeMilitarized Zone
    ROE = Rules Of Engagement
    SP = Start Point
    FUP = Forming Up Point
    AO = Area of Operations
    AFB = Air Force Base
    AD = Armoured Division
    TOC = Tactical Operations Center
    SF = Special Forces
    CI = Counter Intelligence
    PL = Patrol Leader
    IFV = Infantry Fighting Vehicle (like the Bradley, which really isn't an APC)
    FSB = Forward Support Batallion
    XO = Executive Officer

    Could go on, but I'm tired
