Frustrated by the alphabet soup of military acronyms and abbreviations?

RobertWessel

Military records are well known for their own special version of shorthand, much of which is indecipherable by those of us who use many of those records. Here is one link to a glossary of common abbreviations. One problem is the abbreviations change over time so you are likely to encounter many that are not in this list when you start digging into older records. Anyone familiar with other online lists, feel to post them here!
