In first grade we learned the Great Lakes with HOMES (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior).
I found out a week afterward that SHMOE works, too.

That Lt went on leave but now he's considered AWOL. He and his family are PCSing but need to get to TMO in order to schedule their pickup. After that, they need to go to the MPF to get their base sticker so they don't get stopped by the SPs. Make sure their IDs are in order or they won't be allowed to go into the BX or Class Six.
Acronyms are my life.
