Klick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Klick (sometimes spelled click, but that may also mean one second of arc) is a common military term meaning kilometer (or sometimes kilometers per hour). Its use became popular among soldiers in Vietnam during the 1960s, although veterans of the war recall its usage as early as the 1950s. Its origin is sometimes linked with the Australian Army in Korea.
The term is of unknown origin. It is most likely an example of condensed pronunciation or contraction of the term kilometer or possibly onomatopoetic of the sound of a military compass' bezel ring, although other theories exist.
The term is currently also used by civilians, particularly in Canada where road signs and car speedometers use kilometers.

Yeah, that is a military term, and I served my country from 1966-1969 in Vietnam. I interchange the term with miles even though it doesn't match up perfectly mathmatically. Our M-14's had sights that you could change up or down a click or two to get the range of the target. Therefore the term click. The first M-16's came out during my tenure during the drab green days, and they were not very accurate firearms, but they could spray the bush much better than the old M-14's.

Thanks for your service over there sincerely Soaring. My father was there, as were 3 of my uncles. I was in the army guards, 12B combat engineer, for 8 years. Smack between both current desert wars, and didn't get sent to either.

Talked to the folks from Mustang Project yesterday. They seemed like some really nice people. It turns our there circuit boards are on back order and they had been out of town for the week is why they were not getting back with me. I didn't want them to get a bad reputation from what I had posted. They are working to take care of me on my order. Thank you Dan for your input on these guys.

Also keep in mind that spam filters can make email communications difficult. I regurlarly RECEIVE emails from people complaining that I am not answering there emails. They don't consider that I have answered, but their spam filters have returned them to me. I don't even bother returning emails from most AOL addresses, they seldom go through.
