    Not cognitive behavior therapy? So you must mean cock and ball torture! /s

    I hate unintroduced abbreviations. Why do (mostly) Americans write like this all the goddamn time?!

      The military is the worst about it, because a lot of their gear, maneuvers, operations, etc are known almost entirely as acronyms or standard phonetic alphabet abbreviations.

      “Yeah so my LT had us CTET the AWAK so we could get to the LZ. But then the Tangos started SCF on our AO, so we had to RFWP with our MGs until the APC could get in place.”
      And fellow military dudebros will nod along in agreement.
