For those of you familiar with Military terms, we're doing some work at a local military base. We got a memo saying we had "BOD'd a project", translated "we completed a project". But what exactly does BOD stand for???
Thanks!

Wish I could help. I'm very familiar with military lingo, but that one escapes me completely. I'll run it by hubby, just in case he's heard it though. Hopefully someone else may have the answer for you though, in case he comes back blank too.

I just checked with DH the ex-marine and his response was "humph!! I dunno. Must be an army term. *snort*" He was going to check with a co-worker who was in the guard. Maybe JusPeachy can help. Is she on-line?  |

Gosh, that's a hard one. Did they complete the project or end the project? It could be that they declared it "Better off dead". Or it could not be that  . Bethalize Peer Moderator |

Ok, just verified with hubby and father, representing Active Duty Air Force and Retired Army Corps of Engineers (ok, so that one's not really military, but it's government)... and neither of them have ever heard of it. Best guess from hubby was Basis of Determination, but even he said that it didn't really fit and was stretching it.
So on this end, we've cleared AF, Army Corps of Engineers, and VA as having never heard it or used it.

This is Air Force with a little bit of Corp of Engineers thrown in for confusion, so it could very well be something they've made up!!
I'll let you all know if I ever find out what it means. (my thought was "busted our derierre" to get this job finished, but I don't think that's what they meant!!)

The only thing I can think of is "Bill on Delivery" or "Based on Delivery." It doesn't sound like either of those will fit the description of having completed the project, though. JusPeachy   |

Any chance you can contact the author of the memo and ask them what BOD'd means? WhiteSatin |

I would bet that "Beneficial Occupancy Date" is correct since this is a construction project. I could ask the person who sent the memo (and probably will if I get a chance to at the right time). I just didn't want to appear completely clueless to their terms, but in this case it seems I really am!!! Thanks for all the help and replies. When I find out the correct answer I'll let all of you know. Have a great weekend!! (Is it FINALLY Friday?  ) Marie |
