Is “N/S” also used in the US military to refer to people who are injured/incompetent/not useful/muppets?
I know that it’s used in Canadian military and may be used in the UK military. Do the militaries of other Commonwealth countries use that term as well? Is it used outside the Commonwealth?
I’ve seen NFD (Not Fit for Duty), NENF (No Exercise, No Formation), and NE (No Exercise) in reference to various levels of injury/recovery from injury. I think the phase “In excess of unit needs” is used when transferring incompetent or not useful personnel.
Non Serviceable is used as a term in maintenance in all the branches of US armed services to describe a part that is not fuctioning and connot be repaired at field level.
