Klink - FUBAR = F00ked Up Beyond All Recognition. That's what I've been told, I was never in the service

You still can join the MD National Air Guard though :P

Oh, and I was right (naturally!?) as well.

FUBAR is a military acronym for "{f*cked/fouled} up beyond {all/any} {recognition/repair/reason}".

I had one of these in my game. No idea what it means or why it happened. Nothing that I can see in the manual or scenario documentation

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you were wrong, I was pointing out what I heard was different
And Md. National Guard will not have me, as I have an 'uneven temperament'
