So I think we need to fix the acronyms issue on RallyPoint. We are all from different branches and have a million acronyms. We have acronyms for everything from Talk to You Later (TTYL) to the 5 paragraph order format (SMEAC). Can we come to a consensus to use the full range of words that make up the acronym followed by parenthesizes of the acronym in order to facilitate easier reading?


Just remember JJ DID or did not TIE BUCKLE.

Excellent suggestion, Capt (Join to see). Outside the Army and common acronyms, I'm lost.

I said it somewhere....but maybe RallyPoint could incorporate a type of MouseHover like what they have for the SM names, that will automatically detect an acronym from a library of user added acronyms. This will then display a list of possibly suggestions to what it means.
