Worse acroynms for the Marine Corps

[hermitgeecko]

I discovered the Marine Corps' 14 Leadership Traits today -

Justice
Judgement
Dependability
Initiative
Decisiveness
Tact
Integrity
Enthusiasm
Bearing
Unselfishness
Courage
Knowledge
Loyalty
Endurance

To make them easier to remember, they're typically arranged as above, forming the acronym "JJ DID TIE BUCKLE".

"That's terrible!" I thought. "There must be better acronyms!" And I went to I, Rearrangement Servant to find out what they might be.

Other possibilities include:

JIBE DUCKED JILT
JIBE DUCK JILTED
JIB LICKED ED JUT
JIB CLUED JET KID
DUCK LIED JET JIB
DUD EJECT JIB ILK
JET LUCK DIED JIB
JIB DICED ELK JUT
JIB LED I JET DUCK

...nope, the Marines have definitely got the right idea. Tie that buckle, JJ.

I wonder how bad it would be if you allow for mis-spellings.

Use 2 Js where one would go, or 2 Ds. Or K could be a hard C, Js could be Gs or Is, or an N for Enthusiasm or Endurance

The United States Marine Corps surely would not tolerate such imprecision in their acronyms!

Address JJ, and you'll get
JJ, it edible duck!

Yay! So much better than when it inedible, you know.

The duck might feel differently....
