What are some of the longest and most ridiculous acronyms you know of in the military?
Here are two that I know of.
DECS, which is short for:
DSCS ECCM Control Subsystem, which is short for:
Defense Satellite Communications System Electronic Counter-Counter Measure Control Sub System.
Seriously, some of the acronyms in SATCOM are killer.
And now for the NAVY:
Adcomsubordcomphibspac Which is short (seriously?) for:
Administrative Command, Amphibious Forces, Pacific Fleet Subordinate Command.

I actually saw in the BX on the Navy base where I was stationed a book entitled the DICNAVAB (The Dictionary of Naval Abbreviations). Priceless reading I'm sure!!!

I still love that the military is the only place I have seen with a 3 letter Acronym for a 3 letter word.
