Best Answer

Oscar and Mike stand for the letters "O" and "M" in the NATO phonetic alphabet (In a situation where being clear in your speech isn't an easy task, e.g. over the radio, code words representing letters come in handy, so militaries of countries that belong to NATO use the Nato Phonetic Alphabet, a system of words used in place of letters when something is spelled out, e.g. Alpha for A, Bravo for B, etc.).

Since "Oscar Mike" stands for "OM", the real question is what that is an acronym for. The answer is, O M stands for "On the Move," (but with the "the" removed, like in U.S.A.), or other variations of the phrase.

How do you talk like a military soldier?

You can't really 'talk' like a military soldier or learn how to. I noticed that militaries talk with no emotions and only talk when necessary, try to stick to that. Also play a lot of Call of Duty of Battlefield so you get an idea. Organize with the terms Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta and Foxtrot. You can also search for military terms on Google, like "Were Oscar Mike" (Were On the Move) or Visual (the one your looking at or searching for, whatever). Good luck and join the Navy SEAL.
