What's your favorite phrase from the military that civilians just don't understand?

Personally, I have a few different phrases I use, most of which I get some rather blank looks from my civilian coworkers. "That's ate up like a soup sandwich." Or "Squared away like a fruit loop."

The question is, what's your favorite go to phrase that you picked up in the military?

One I've learned, "Train hard, and pray for war," gets weird looks for sure.
