Topic: Oscar Mike?

[PyroMenace]

Oscar Mike — On the Move, the names of the two NATO phonetic alphabet letters O and M which stand for the phrase. Used on the radio and in shorthand to each other.

Is that it? I always hear it referenced in all of these modern military shooters, but was there some other reference to something specific that happened?

yep, either that or "on mission".

i don't think there's anymore to it than that

Never heard of it, so I googled it.  First hit was this:

If you watch Generation Kill you'll hear lots more!

In COD:MW2 it was used frequently for "on the move".  "We're oscar mike!"
