Exciting and useful video, congrats!
We use some of these exact sentences (literary translation) in Italian: in the trenches, no man's land, and on the front lines.
I use roger to mean "si, ricevuto," yes, understood, in Italian, when talking at the radio in a semi-professional context, as in a K9 search and rescue team or as a first responder ski patroller.

It was a fantastic lesson, I didn't think you can come up with it. I have heard a few expressions, I could have guessed the meaning of a couple of these expressions but I didn't know all of them. This lesson was really interesting including the part that you showed from Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise. Can you override this lesson ever?

Hello from France!
- I caught a lot of flak for telling the truth about my roommate!
- You'd better go to the boss on the double. -Roger that!!
Thanks a lot, Wes!!!
I guess you're fluent in French. 😀 I only know several French words.
Roger that, I should be on the front line & timely for your classical lessons.
Excellent. Glad the lesson was easy to follow. Hope you have a nice weekend. 👍
Thank Wes for the lesson cuz in the next year I'm gonna get in the US Army
Very cool. Thanks for commenting & checking out the lesson Leonardo. 👍
Roger that ❤
Excellent! Thanks so much for your comment. 😊
Roger that! Another suggestions :
E.T.A.: Estimated Time of Arrival.
Hold your fire
Check your fire
Watch your fire
Friendlies! (example: friendlies moving in, friendlies at your six, etc.)
A.S.A.P (As Soon As Possible) (Not really sure if this expression has a military origin)
Wingman
En route
Rendezvous
Just to clarify: most of these expressions I've heard them in popular media (movies, videogames, etc.), as for I'm not from the USA so my knowledge about the US Armed Forces comes from what I've read, seen or heard.
Hey Juan. Thanks for commenting & sharing with us. Those are some other great expressions. 😊
Roger that
نعم
great work! thanks a lot! I met the phrase 'bought the farm' in Misery novel by Stephen King and I couldn't translate this one for a long time.
Roger that! This was great fun!!! I absolutely fall for SNAFU and TARFU ...! 😊 I like 'on the double' and to 'bite the bullet' too, I instantly got what the latter is about, because in my native language we say something like 'to bite the sour apple' in this kind of situation.
We also use the american "Roger...!" in an funny/ironical way (we leave the "that" out, I have no idea, why this is the case). Ah, btw. your pronunciation of 'Fliegerabwehr' was r e a l ly good! In 'Kanone' you have to stress the second syllable, it is Kanóne (big stress there). Hope this was helpful to you. So thank you for this joyful lesson, and have a great day! 👍
Thanks so much for your comment. And thanks for checking my pronunciation as well. 😉 Glad you enjoyed the lesson & hope you learned some new phrases. 😃🎉
@@InteractiveEng I did! Very enjoyable and informative lesson! And it just came to my mind, why germans may leave the "that" out - they have trouble pronouncing the "th"! 😄 😆 That's how people are!
