He never officially translated it for me but essentially it meant "Bend over and kiss your rear end goodbye!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795385237882019506.post-55978717071820826232012-04-06T16:07:45.791-07:002012-04-06T16:07:45.791-07:00You missed Falcon 123, Otherwise known as "Fo...You missed Falcon 123, Otherwise known as "Foxtrot Oscar" or "Farg Off" in your sanitized vernacular.<br /><br />Dad used a lot of them often growing up. I learned and used them as well. Often I end up using them and then have to point people at lists like yours when I post them for something online.TheMinutemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339472397050192421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795385237882019506.post-87397279213467161642011-11-20T00:13:14.068-08:002011-11-20T00:13:14.068-08:00Thanks.

Was thinking it would be nice resurrect the Falcon codes on some internet forum threads.<br /><br />I was "Redcrown" for several months in 1970 (USS Long Beach), and I remember the first time a pilot gave me a Falcon code in response to some command I passed on from the Ops Boss. Luckily, my 62yo Master Chief was lingering nearby and he whispered the translation in my 23yo ear. Later I got the full list, so I was armed and ready for the war.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795385237882019506.post-32905077585050543122010-11-11T07:52:31.683-08:002010-11-11T07:52:31.683-08:00This brings back some great memories...as a kid I ...This brings back some great memories...as a kid I remember my Uncle Rog, a Navy Pilot using these.
