So these are a few abbreviations that I became very, very familiar with while working at the VA with recently deployed soldiers. I was just curious how commonly known these are:
Yay for a year of internship at the VA. 1) OEF: Operation Enduring Freedom 2) OIF: Operation Iraqi Freedom 3) RPG: rocket propelled granade 4) IED: ?? 5) CPRS: the VA computer system thingy. i forgot what it stands for

ReplyDeleteI'm at the VA right now. Good times! Love the WWII vets & will miss them terribly when they go for good.
