I recall a story about a young officer who decided that mastering all the military acronyms was the key to rapid promotion. When he had a temporary staff assignment, he made sure that maximum acronyms were in use in all his paperwork.

Shortly after he submitted a long report to his CO, he found it on his desk with UNA in large red letters across the front. After search all his references, he was stumped and timidly approached the SNCO about it.

The SNCO looked at the kid and stated: "UNA means use no acronyms, the old man hates them!"
