3411 — the highest spot on bluff It is where Custer is believed to have viewed the village and Reno in the valley. via Fred Wagner in his book "Stradegy of Defeat." also see HSOB or SHSOB

Ford B – Crossing point at Medicine Tail Coulee
Ford C – Crossing point leading up Deep Ravine
Ford D – Northern ford (2)
FUBAR – F(ouled) up beyond all Recognition
FUBB – F**ked/Fouled Up Beyond Belief - A second cousin twice removed of FUBAR, the illegitimate offspring of SNAFU, both of which DUTS.
HSOB – Some High Spot on the Bluffs-a reference to a non specific point Custer is believed to have viewed the village and Reno May be SHSOB
JSIT – John Stands In Timber His account, as related to his grandson, is often cited on this board.
LSH – Last Stand Hill

HSOB – High Spot on the Bluffs-a reference to a non specific point Custer is believed to have viewed the village and Reno but not necessarily 3411
SFRC – South Fork Reno Creek
SHSOB – Some High Spot on the Bluff-see HSOB
SSL – South Skirmish Line
SSR – Sharp Shooter Ridge
Trading Post – A local landmark near the Battlefield. It often referred to when discussing North to South battle Flow. It is an establishment located on Highway 212 very near the entrance to the battlefield park and sitting on BRE. Most noted for derogatory comments made in jest about the menu, a first rate selection of books related to the battle, and anything your little heart desires in the way of 7th Cavalry Tee shirts. The unofficial command post of the AZ Ranger and Deadwood during the month of June in any given year, with a friendly staff that has so far refused to disembowel the both of them.
If you have one you want added put it below and I will add it to the list. If you see an abbreviation that is not defined add it below.
