Any ideas?! silly

Captain, Report to the HQ for the 'O' Group to get MAPCO & GRIDDLE for the FEBA prior to FIBUA after the LPBG has hit the DZ after the MSP’s have landed.
Roger that.

I know HQ- Headquarters!
... and I presume 'O' Group is Operations.
DZ- Drop Zone

So... I hand it over to the wise bow
