What Military Life Means to Me from Alpha to Zulu

Riding the Roller Coaster came up with an idea to have a link up describing what military life means to us using the military alphabet.  Some letters were much easier than others.  I did ask The Man for help but I came up with most of it on my own.   I even managed to come with something for every letter.   It's heavily influenced by our sub life.  If you don't know what something is, please ask.  Enjoy!
