Nairaland / General / How Far Is A Klick In Military Terms? by Aaculaax(m): 10:41am On May 02 |
If you’ve ever watched a military movie or listened to a conversation between soldiers, you might have heard the term “klick” used when they talk about distances. But what exactly does this term mean, and how far is a klick? What is a Klick? A “klick” is a term used by the military to denote a distance of one kilometer. It’s equivalent to 0.62 miles or 1,000 meters. The term is widely used by military personnel around the world and has become part of the jargon that transcends national boundaries. Also read: 100 clicks to Miles: How to Convert and What It Means The Origin of the Term The exact origin of the term “klick” is not clear, but it’s believed to have been used as early as World War I or the Vietnam War. It’s thought that the term was adopted for its clarity over radio transmissions, where the sharp sound of “klick” could be more easily distinguished than "kilometer". Why Use Klick Instead of Kilometer? In the military, clear and concise communication is crucial, especially during operations. The term “klick” is preferred over “kilometer” because it’s shorter and less likely to be misunderstood during radio communication. This is similar to the use of “mikes” instead of “miles” for the same reasons. How is it Used? In practice, if a soldier reports that they are “10 klicks south of your position,” they are indicating that they are 10 kilometers away. This simple term allows for quick and efficient communication of distances, which can be vital in military operations. Conclusion Understanding military terms can be fascinating, and “klick” is one of those terms that has a practical purpose beyond its linguistic interest. It’s a term that has stood the test of time and continues to be an essential part of military vernacular for measuring distance. 1 Like |

For your information, whether the dna proves otherwise or not that man isn't getting a dime because mobad has already will his props in the name of his son, all those donations that were made, were made in the name of the little mobad, so nobody is going to get a dime from it |

DonroxyII: The words I bolded are esoteric. I heard that "chuachua" in an entirely different context, so it was humorous seeing it used like you did I neither believe in afterlives nor reincarnations. I'm excited by some of the unexpected word combos you use. But merely "liking" the post won't highlight what about it Fascinated me; coupled with fact that doing so may inaccurately convey agreement |

liveLongNprospa: We once had that arguement here in 2022, and i said that almost no shipping line will want to do anything with another port apart from Apapa. The reason is because our waters are not safe. Well, i was shut up by the Defensive midfielders of Buhari, on how our waters are the safest in Africa. But that's beside the point. If the country is import dependent, is the reason for the port to drag shipping lines with Lagos? Will any shipping line have enough cargo from California to Ondo? Or when it berths in Lagos, dem go use badges begin carry am? |

The overall development of the child and not just academic is the issue here. There's a reason in many countries, the law stipulates 18 yrs for higher education. 1 Like |
Family / Re: Introverts Lounge (Extroverts Pls Keep Off !!) by pryme(m): 9:33am On May 02 |
maybe you guys can create a whatsapp group, where you guys can readily say what comes to mind. With that being said, its an advantage if you dont talk too much, because you take in more information, which helps to easily asses people or situations, why is this so? thats because you already KNOW what you are about to say, you dont know what others have to say, so instead sending out what you already know, rather you are taking in new information you wont know. if there is more you need to know ask those questions, not some fluff just to impress. If the questions are true and valid, there will be conversation. And please take what you hear as it is, NOT as you think it should be - when people tell you who they are, believe them. Being an introvert is just a means to an end, its not the end goal. Most introverts are feared because no one knows what there are thinking (speaking from experience), but when the rubber hits the road you MUST prove them right. Learn to be a dangerous person, dont tolerate evil, in this world where lies and deception is the norm let TRUTH be your North Star - cos the end goal is being at peace with your conscience. |
