what does the d in d day stand for
 

i saw this show on tv that was talking about d day it was this totally huge invasion back in nam and it was like one of the gnarliest battles ever but i totally missed the part where they said what the d in d day stood for :confused: anyone know?

i think it stands for Don't trust the gubmint

Re: what does the d in d day stand for
 

You heard the TV wrong. It's "B-day," as in "Boots-day." This is the day the government issued its special mind control boots to the foot soldiers. I've heard that some of these mind control boots are still out there.

The D in D-Day stands for Day.

D-ecision.

doom

Dee

i have heard people say Decision, Deliverance, etc. but wolf is right.

D is for day.

the invasion began at H-Hour on D-Day.

and you were joking about it being a , right?

From the "Word IQ" site on the web:

"The terms D-day and H-hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential. The letters are derived from the words for which they stand, "D" for the day of the invasion and "H" for the hour operations actually begin. There is but one D-day and one H-hour for all units participating in a given operation. It is unnecessary to state that H-hour is on D-day.

When used in combination with figures, and plus or minus signs, these terms indicate the length of time preceding or following a specific action. Thus, H-3 means 3 hours before H-hour, and D+3 means 3 days after D-day. H+75 minutes means H-hour plus 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Planning papers for large-scale operations are made up in detail long before specific dates are set. Thus, orders are issued for the various steps to be carried out on the D-day or H-hour minus or plus a certain number of days, hours, or minutes. At the appropriate time, a subsequent order is issued that states the actual day and times."

More than you ever wanted to know, I'm sure.

Surely, you jest about the "'Nam" thing. (What ARE they teaching in today's schools? Never mind, I don't really want to know).

Are you really Radar? Do you hear me? Hello?

;)

What does this sentence mean? If it's unnecessary to state, why did they tell then?

H-Hour occurs on D-Day by its very definition. So it would be redundant to say "we will do this thing at H-Hour on D-day." All you need to say is "we will do this thing at H-Hour." It's understood that H-Hour is on D-Day.

and if you say "we'll do it at M-minute" ...does that work, too?

what the hell is wrong with us? i'm going to go take my own L-Life now. see ya.

They didn't have computer acronyms to abuse the language back then, so this is the best they could do.

Don't take owls to Athens, and don't preach a military about abreviations. My point is that saying "it's unnecessary to state" and then tell it, is complete nonsense and absolutly stupid. And very arrogant...

As opposed to getting this agitated about such a minor point?

Pi,
at first I thought you were joking, but then I seemed to recall that English isn't your first language, so I answered your question seriously. I hope I didn't offend your intelligence. I didn't mean to.

Damned if I know. I'm only the messenger, so please don't shoot me. That was a direct quote from this site:

Take it up with them.:3eye:

Sorry I didn't want to be rude...
Actually it was a joke and then I tried to be witty but maybe I shouldn't...
I should just try to be funny and if doesn't work, no problem and if I'm good enough making jokes so that everybody understands, I'll move on to the next level. It's a hard way (who's singing that song, don't remember)...

d stands for dysentery. They also had to make preparation for h on d day.

DEEEEEEEEZ NUUUUUUUUTS!!!

now i'm really confused:confused:

Why shouldn't I take an owl to Athens?

Must be just you then.

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff normally coordinates the proposed date with the commanders of the appropriate unified and specified commands, as well as any recommended changes to C-day. L-hour will be established per plan, crisis, or theater of operations and will apply to both air and surface movements. Normally, L-hour will be established to allow C-day to be a 24-hour day. a. C-day. The unnamed day on which a deployment operation commences or is to commence. The deployment may be movement of troops, cargo, weapon systems, or a combination of these elements using any or all types of transport. The letter "C" will be the only one used to denote the above. The highest command or headquarters responsible for coordinating the planning will specify the exact meaning of C-day within the aforementioned definition. The command or headquarters directly responsible for the execution of the operation, if other than the one coordinating the planning, will do so in light of the meaning specified by the highest command or headquarters coordinating the planning. b. D-day. The unnamed day on which a particular operation commences or is to commence. c. F-hour. The effective time of announcement by the Secretary of Defense to the Military Departments of a decision to mobilize Reserve units. d. H-hour. The specific hour on D-day at which a particular operation commences. e. H-hour (amphibious operations). For amphibious operations, the time the first assault elements are scheduled to touch down on the beach, or a landing zone, and in some cases the commencement of countermine breaching operations. f. L-hour. The specific hour on C-day at which a deployment operation commences or is to commence. g. L-hour (amphibious operations). In amphibious operations, the time at which the first helicopter of the helicopter-borne assault wave touches down in the landing zone. h. M-day. The term used to designate the unnamed day on which full mobilization commences or is due to commence. i. N-day. The unnamed day an active duty unit is notified for deployment or redeployment. j. R-day. Redeployment day. The day on which redeployment of major combat, combat support, and combat service support forces begins in an operation. k. S-day. The day the President authorizes Selective Reserve callup (not more than 200,000). l. T-day. The effective day coincident with Presidential declaration of national emergency and authorization of partial mobilization (not more than 1,000,000 personnel exclusive of the 200,000 callup). m. W-day. Declared by the National Command Authorities, W-day is associated with an adversary decision to prepare for war (unambiguous strategic warning).

Now, I'M REALLY confused! I'm taking my owl and going home !(and no Wolf, you may not take an owl to Athens - there are laws about that! ;) )

Debarkation Day;)

D-Day

DEPARTURE DAY

Upon the alter of liberty so many have surrendered their all this very day but 60 years ago.

Let us search out much older people (78 years and older) this day to thank them for their sacrifice, as the odds are very, very great they did serve, no matter where they were assigned.

So few of the great armada of men still survive. So many of us still retain meaningful, hopeful, happy lives because of these great men. What they accomplished was not through superior weaponry or numbers or tactics, but through their sheer will, their devotion to the most just of all causes, the freedom of man.

On the beaches of France they fell by the tens of thousands, the horror of hell on Earth as seen by none before. On the cliffs they could see the carnage for miles in every direction and wonder what has man wrought. It was not the numbers of the soldiers that won that day, it was the will of men that had lives of love back home, it was the anger of being trapped against a bunker gunner with more than 10,000 rounds to throw your way, it was the desperation that they simply could NOT fail if the world were to have even a chance, it was not the terror of dying by a single bullet, but by the real chance of having their bodies ripped apart, shredded against the sand and sea. On they went, over the carnage of bodies of men they spoke with minutes earlier. The tears that filled their eyes and souls that day must have been unbearable, they must have shook with shock at having made it. If they were among the lucky in the first waves.

This day of departing the free shores of England to arrive at deaths door must have been overwhelming, but the hearts of just and brave men were so much more forceful than any ordnance that day.

The blood of life given is that of spirit received. You departed to bring peace to a land this day, but many of you departed the land this day to bring peace to men's souls. In your sacrifice, you did succeed.

Bless you all... we will not forget the greatest generation ever.

Welcome to the Cellar, Rich.:)
Nice piece, I assume you are RD.
Do you have a tinfoil hat?:haha:

Thank you Bruce.

Thank you.

Yes, I am RD (Richard Driskill)




No, no tin foil hat. I am what I say, an Authority of the 4th fundamental constant of the universe. (You can check my posts at www.wolstrupwebdesign.com)

[butthead] so, huh..are you, like, ...famous or something? eh huh huh[/butthead]

Famous? Yeah, I guess.

#5 I don't 'do' Butthead like you do.
#6 I can easily


























...keep an idiot in suspense.

:D

and so modest. welcome aboard. assuming you care to stay and waste your time with those so obviously beneath you, sir.

But that don't mean you got gooder English than me.

Thanks for the 'normal' welcome Jim.






Ahhhh, If you didn't want the answer, why'd you ask the question?

-OR-

Oops, wait 'till Jim finds out just how big the gap really is. :D

Torrere,


Hmmmm. I don't know... are you a archididascalos, like myself?

I am not an archididascalos. What sorta school do you principle?

rich, would you mind if i called you Dick for short?

Arond here we measure fame by how many Google hits you get. Most of yours (Richard Driskill) do not mention your pasttimes or posts and so we can only assume you are unknown in cyberspace. Welcome, you are starting from scratch and have to prove yourself all over again here. If you attempt to show off your big head without proving yourself, it'll just get knocked off.

funny you mention that, ut, when i googled him all i found of note were some queer poems about princess Di. :rolleyes:

I googled around for a picture:

3 questions:

Why the hell do you think having such 'pure' blood matters, generally I've found people that care about bloodlines existed in the middle ages or are far right white supremeists.

If you're such a success story, why do you spend you time (as you said, 3500 posts or so) wanking around online forums? Don't you have something better to do?

How did someone with the EQ of a small dried grapefruit ever manage not to shit someone off for long enough to sell them something? Or did the ego some with the 7 figures you're clearly so proud of.

We welcome pretty much all politcal creeds here, assuming you can take the heat and make sense but you'd be best advised to shut the fuck up about how wonderful you think you are, this is the internet, you never know who you're talking to.

Oh and cut the loquacious wanking, you're only going to get a steady stream of objurgation until you leave otherwise.

jag, the real picture is at least as funny as yours:

http://www.wolstrupwebdesign.com/for...richavatar.jpg

Looks like an eastern european 'businessman' to me, you'd think with all those millions he's so proud of he could afford a decent stylist.

Another view of the "real" picture, along with his explanation of his "style." I can only assume he's trying to be funny.

http://www.wolstrupwebdesign.com/rich2741/Richat46.jpg

It's all part of a very intricate plan "my son". Style with substance. Little do you know that that collar has a anti-garrote protection metal band inside it. The rectangular metal collar adornment is to facilitate the trapping of the wire (professionals always use thin wire, not rope; it is less visible while being slipped over the victims head (less reaction time), has a degree of stiffness that allows a smooth movement to occur, cuts quickly and deeply into the neck, and does not allow for fingers to slip beneath it no matter the level of desperation) under that point so it does not slide up past the protection. This allows for roughly 1-2 seconds to allow me to administer a death blow to the would-be garroter who is concentrating soley on this one act and not on self-protection (which is completely natural, -thinking- he has the ultimate upper hand). Actually, he never even gets the chance to think "Big mistake".

Little slips, tiny errors, insignificant faux pas, like "abot" versus "about", are things that can not be tolerated in my world. The enemy is always to be considered deadly and the razors edge is always close. (Really; unseen by anyone in the photograph above, or in real life, my thumbs always remain exposed as they have very tiny Trac2 razor pieces super glued to the end of my thumbnails (which are always kept very short to increase the stiffness factor). If I tucked them in, or did not pay critical attention to their position at all times, many things would be sliced. The dominant pupose of this is to negate the movement of other martial arts assailants wishing to control my body (via sympathetic nerve response) through manipulation of my thumbs; what you can not touch (or hold on to), you can not control or substantially influence. This is even more valid when surprized and spurting blood from key points, as the assailants attention is then divided. Once again, the thought of "Big mistake" usually never gets to be formed.)

Take the sunglasses for example, they have tiny, tiny mirrors attached at the inside upper corners near the temple edges of the frame. This allows one to see behind themselves. Sneak up on me? ... let's say it altogether now: "Big mistake".

Knowledge is power. The proper utilization of power results in victory. Victory always results in life. Life is a state of mind. Too bad I have to get old.

tee hee

Adam and Drew say overuse of speed causes that level of paranoia.

Laughs, gold LJ, gold. He also distributes commas like they were rice at a wedding.

Yea I'd say he's joking somehow. That or a few candles short of a cake.

Also now I think of it, if someone pulled the wire tight over that band, it'd slide up and go straight into his neck.

That's the point of the "rectangular metal collar adornment".

well, so long as the "garroter" is cooperative enough to only try to choke him when he's wearing that shirt, and not while he's draped in velvet, which i suspect is his normal attire, then it should work just fine. what a tool. looks like Howard Eskin. i think we may have scared him off. too bad. he makes radar look like a buddhist. would have been lots of fun.

plenty of neck above it, why cut though someone's shirt anyway?
Doesn't look very rectangular either.

Pity, he would have been great fun, you're right.

"Sometimes, when I'm nervous, I put my fingers in my armpits, and then smell them, like this!"

Based on his posts here, it would seem that we now have a neo-con version of Radar.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You guys are toooooo much! (liberals always are!)

I can see some of you have been stressing those decaying brain cells to the max! (Man, how I love to see roaches scurry!)

Prove myself? Start from scratch? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This coming from a lot that quotes Beavis and Butthead, and thinks alzheimer's is an advanced state of mental activity! I've piked more bodies on the byways of the internet than the pimples that have come and gone on all your collective baboon butts combined.

Oh really now... "scrared off"? From a bunch of underdeveloped simians in a dank cellar? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Please, stop, stop, my side hurts from laughing so hard!

Actually, I was just passing through and thought I'd shake the monkey cage a bit... I know... I'm mean... but how often do you see fur covered turds get bounced around? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

...Now remember to take your meds, stay away from sharp implements (like me!) and that no matter how much you feign reading Sesame Street magazines, your lineage will never get a lick smarter if you continue to inbreed.

Petri dish tipping is sooooo much fun!

:D



P.S.: Don't thank me all at once for revealing to you what "D-Day" stands for.

Sounds like someone needs some more Kool-Aid...

oh shit, it gets better!

THIS USED TO BE A PICTURE OF RICH 2147


where's the collar, faggy? oh dear god, i have to pee now.

and just in case you thought he might be heterosexual:

SO DID THIS, AND HE LOOKED LIKE A
YOUGER, GAYER VERSION OF HIS NOW
HOWARD ESKIN-ESQUE SELF

There's still plenty of space between the collar an this dumbass' neck... The only thing helping is wearing a helmet with neck protection. But maybe James Bond and B-Movies are not the best ways to become a real "fighter".

The next post may as well have just said yes.

I guess you're less likely to get garotted at the mall.

Byt the way, we're not thanking you because you didn't explain what the D stood for, you just wanked on.

Grammar is a little beyond you is it?

Oh look at that! More pictures! Thanks for making me the center of attention on your board! Imagine... me... a pinup for the monkey set!

Oh, it hurts so much! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The level of articulation is stunning!

When your cognitive abilities reach 3rd Grade level and you can do more than post pictures, turn the handle and let yourselves out of the basement. In the mean time, I hope you guys all share 'protection' amongst yourselves (No! Not that same exact rubber!) when you do the nasty.

You're welcome. And thank YOU: for helping convince me not to try Just For Men Gel.
