If you know the language of the military, you know what we’re talking about. It’s basically a language all its own. Full of acronyms and nicknames that don’t make sense to the general public, there are entire strings of conversations that can go on including nothing but jargon. (And good luck to anyone not in the know.)  That's where funny memes come in. From discussing ranks, daily situations, moves to everyday gear, jargon is a THING in the military. Take a look at these common memes discussing what it’s like to speak the language … and if you don’t.

2. Sometimes you can’t shut it off … even when you want to

Stop, translate, re-state.

3. The point doesn’t always get across

But it’s a good time. 

4. When you accidentally teach civilians

You are so cool.
