Neither Google, nor ChatGPT seem to know anything about this term. Google basically only finds this thread + a handful of random results. So maybe my OCD is still a bit triggered, after all 😂 (P.S.: Sorry for hijacking the thread a bit...)
It was one of those IYKYK kinda things haha

Yakima + m1114 + unlicensed private + idiot e6 repeating "stop slowing down on corners" = here's the last picture of my right hand

Hey! Thanks for saying hello and "Sounding off...Boot!" Having the forum and website creator stop in to say hello is a pleasure!
It was explained already, but the term "Sound Off" in context was used in accountability situations to affirm your presence. It could be if a group or cluster of military service members traveled together or in any scenarios where accountability was needed. You could also use it in war-time in fox-holes along the line to see who was still up and alive. You did not have to stick your head out too high above the parapet to get accountability.
"Boot" Is sometimes a demeaning term, but in this context, it is not offensive. In context inside the military, once a member graduates from their respective services "boot camp"; they head to their service schools or to the fleet (the American Army calls it something else). Those straight out of "boot camp" are still raw and fresh. They might be called "boot" by the lads or lasses who have been there longer, and someone might be called that for other various reasons.
Thanks again for saying hello!

You read it correctly the first time Sound OFF Boot... The term was suggested originally to come from Vietnam war, meaning Boot- a person starting fresh in their tour of duty. In the military we typically use the phrase 'boot' to describe a new person right out of boot camp or their MOS school.

I was an AD in the Navy, my NEC was for the F110 Engines (F14), F404 (F18), and T56 (E2 &P3). I currently still work in the field. Looking at any companies? I have been in aviation since 1989.

Craig Jones looking to do a USO tour https://www.reddit.com/r/[...]QtztEgWvOE
I used to run the BJJ program on a couple of Aircraft Carriers. I hope he can get in contact with Fleet and Family Support Services, the Ship's MWR rep (Fun Boss) and the Supply Department to make this a reality. If I were still in, I would get him out there.

Was a great time serving in the German military (1998-2002)- Signal Intelligence Regiment:
-basic training in 5.FmAufklRgt 940 Daun/ Rheinland Pfalz
-special training and main unit: 3. FmAufklRgt 940/ Daun
-Translater/ language Courses at language school in Feldafing/Bavaria near Munich and „Bundessprachenamt“ in Hürth near Cologne
-preparation course for military instructor academy at 4.FmAufklRgt 940
-military instructor course/ group leader at military academy „Heeresunteroffiziersschule“ HUS 1, Münster Handorf/ North Rhine Westphalia
-Military drivers license course In Koblenz (mandatory military truck&trailer license)
One of the coolest things back then for me was visiting our American friends at military training area and US Army Garrison „Baumholder“, where we had preparation training for KFOR back then (haven’t been to Kosovo/KFOR though).
