So imagine that 1950’s Science Fiction announcer voice here “IT’S TIME FOR . . NEWS OF THE VAGUELY UNIMPORTANT!!!!) That was fun. Anyway, I got a note today that the USCS says it’s time to start using the term “life Jackets” again! Now we should only use the term PFD when describing specific types of life jackets or regulation issues. (Thanks to to Jon Stackpole for gathering the info & Nancy S. for passing it on).
Meanwhile in other news Prince has changed his name to “Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii” since that name is no longer being used.

I’ve always used life jacket. With all the stupid acronyms floating around its both refreshing and stunning that a government agency, the mother lode of acronyms,is actually attempting to discourage one. If the USCGS has decided that PFD is no longer SOP and people still use it, I guess they are DSOB’s.
LOL!! Funny!
