For number 13 you have FAQ listed for initials but Joint Photographics Experts Group listed as the answer. FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions. Jpeg = Joint Photographics Experts Group. Had to learn that one in graphics programming.

For 15, CCU can also be synonimous with ICU (Intensive Care Unit), standing for Critical Care Unit, depending on the hoapital. The staff at the hospital I used to work for used the two interchangebly.

Probably a SNAFU
JCL (mainframe computer operation)
SDO (military)
NCO (military)
CPO (military)
FPO (military)
PX (military)
BAM (military)

 

[justplainbill]

CPO (military)
FPO (military)

BAM (military)

okay -----except for CPO, and FPO, I'm stumped here,

 

[justplainbill]

JCL = job control language
SDO = staff duty officer
NCO = non-commissioned officer
PX = post exchange (aka AAFES)
BAM = female Marine (an anatomical reference not appreciated by the fairer sex)
DRO = dining room orderly

Given your location I guess you sknow what SEPTA is.

 

[Claire]

Just goes to show. I got all the military acronyms and almost none of the others. Even BAM, which I always felt was unfair since all the female marines I've met were cute and slim.

BX
WAF
WAVE
WAC
AFB
AB
ANZAC
SEATO
NATO

You know people used to tell me how the military had it's own language. Then I went to work in academia and thought I'd go crazy with their abbreviations and acronyms. Then I went to work at a vet's and medical jargon will drive you nuts!
