Dash-Ten
This mysterious word, contrary to appearances, has nothing to do with quick movement over a short distance. Apparently, all US Army equipment manuals have a number: reasonable enough. However, because all of the identifiers end in a dash-ten, a dash-ten is an instructional handbook. Always read the handbook before using anything. Especially when it comes to lethal weapons.

Sham Shield
This derogatory moniker is given to soldiers who are deployed as specialists. These individuals are identified by a shield-shaped emblem. The derogatory term is said to derive from the fact that specialists are frequently excused from laborious tasks. Nobody likes a shirker! Although we’re not convinced that the scorn is totally justified in this case.
