WWII vets with M1 Garands & Achronyms painted on...
I don't see these guys at the range anymore, but they were a group that rode together to come shoot at the range. They were all WWII vets, they all had M1
Garands with military Achronyms painted on thier stocks. I should have taken pictures, they were all great guys to talk to and fun to sit back and watch. They had things like "BOHICA" and other words painted on thier stock. One guy even had the Killroy was here dude on his rifle.
SO... before times are faded away, and we cant get the info anymore, Lets try passing on a page here with all of the old military achronyms, even new ones will do, but I hate to see them just be forgotten. They were important enough to the old vets, so lets make them important enough to make a post here.
All I could remember was "Bohica" & "Oshica"... "Killroy was here"... there were a lot more than that.... anybody else remember aything??
Lets keep it going for the vets... I plan on painting one on my M1 Garand just for them.

I din't think about looking there until a few minutes ago. They got some good ones there, but you got to page through the whole list.

Oh, there are so many. It is fun to walk down memory lane. So many of them have rather coarse sexual meanings, you wonder if they are used anymore?
