Yes I am in the military but usually when I am addressing a non military group or people that will probably not know Army jargon, I speak in regular terms.
You are right...he would know, but I should have been more considerate.
FWS is the Fighter Weapons School (the USAF 'TOPGUN'), IP is instructor pilot, DOV means I was the Chief of the unit Standardization and Evaluation office, DOW meant the Chief of the unit Weapons and Tactics office. MPC is the old term for the Air Force headquarters that handled all personnel assignments. O-6 is the rank for Colonel. Pentagon is self-explanatory!! The place where folks who just want to be pilots don't want to go!!
