Is there an Acronym dictionary somewhere on this site for the benefit of us newbies? I am completely lost half the time in spite of being accustomed to working with the vagaries of the MOD and NATO

Can't be doing with my silly iphone when I have a proper computer which shows the complete site which I can navigate with ease. Does this not happen on your phone? If not you won't be able to use all of HUL I fear.

If you are on an iPad like it says in your post above, towards the top on the right of the page is a header “Pinned Posts” and it’s the third one down.....if you are on an IPhone......dunno!

I got much more valuable info than just the meaning of the acronym when I did this. BTW-got your PM). Thank you. Going to get my coffee-it's &AM here. Talk soon. Take care irina1975
