Can You Answer US Army Basic Knowledge Questions?
You scored:
10 out of 11
Pretty Close To Perfection :)

Truth is I had heard DEFAC before when some journalist on the TV uttered the acronym while standing in front of one.

Am I psychic or is it that all you can be is not that much?

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Got 10 out of 11, missed the qualification badge question.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

10/11, missed the last question about what base the seven character acronym was on.

I put it down to being retired USAF - some acronyms were the same, our uniforms are pretty similar, and I worked with the Army boys enough to know some.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

How the hell did I get 9 out of 11?  I guessed on half at least.

9 out of 11 . . . and at least 8 of those were pure guesses, since I had NO idea what those acronyms meant.
