REMF = Rear Echelon MO-FO ( i.e. The support personnel that are not supposed to be on the front lines and the brass.)
I am assuming that VBIED is a newer term which stands for Vehicle Based Improvised Explosive Device.

Thanks for posting and stay safe. It's nice getting reports from troops and not the media.

Speaking of those, JB and his Marines no longer wear cammies, they wear sand colored fire-retardant jump suits, so that when they hit those, their clothes don't burn and they can get out of them quickly...thats the new thing.
Squalus, I'm sorry I have overlooked this thread and have just now discovered it.
I am so sorry for your losses. I have people over there, too, fighting, so it's very interesting for me to learn what you guys go through on a regular basis.
Keep your head down, my friend, and please stay safe. The world needs you.
Looking forward to more posts from you.

J, it is good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends. Keep us posted on what's going on, plus it lets us know you're okay.

El Orans:
EFP is an explosively formed projectile or explosesively formed penetrator
it's a type of charge designed to penetrate armored vehicles. usually the bad guys will set them up at places were a vehicle has to stop or slow down, and detonate them, with the "warhead" for lack of a better term aimed at the vehicle. the "warhead" then penetrates the vehicle and does a great deal of damage.
OH-JJ got the other two
