I can't even say how many I knew! I think I just didn't try to understand them and was happy in my ignorance. But thanks so much for making this. I didn't know there were sooo many!

Usually when ever I hear something I will look it up if I am curious what it stands for, but a lot of those I don't remember or never looked up.

At least you tell yourself you'll look it up, even if you don't. I don't even do that. I just don't have the proper time. School makes me so stressed that just watching my shows is stressor relief enough so I don't feel compelled to find anything else out.

TOD- Time of Death
DOA- Dead on Arrival

And I think SOP could have another meaning based on NCIS: LA.
Special Operation Projects

Great thread, I'm sure that's helpful for a lot of people.

MTAC
SOB
TOD
DOA

Should be included in the list, though.

And yeah, let's add MIA, too.
Love MIA.
