For the life of me I cannot remember the acronym for preparing defensive fighting positions.... I know the following will offend some, and I apologize in advance, but I know the Diddy went something along the lines of Fat Chicks Love Eating Easter Candy, Except something something something.... FCLEECE.... can someone help me finish the diddy and remind me what each letter stood for? Google has been no help, at all.

I believe it was PSSTCHL (Pissed, Chill) for fundamentals of camouflage - at least how I learned it back in the day.
Position
Shine
Shadow
Texture
Color
Height
Location
Or perhaps OCOKA, for defensive position considerations -
Observation/ Fields of Fire
Cover and Concealment
Obstacles
Key Terrain
Avenues of Approach

ALCON: there is an Apple app called 'DEFENSIVE POSITIONS' it is useful for knowing how many obstacles the engineers can be expected to put in in a given amount of time, or if you are an Army or Marine engineer, how many obstacles you can reasonably be expected to emplace. It works.
