Confessions of a Former US Naval Radio Intelligence Officer.

“I am an American, but I grew up in the USSR, my father served as a naval attache at the embassy in Moscow. Having lived 12 years of my childhood in Moscow, and then leaving, I spoke Russian better than English. My knowledge of the Russian language was in demand by the US Navy intelligence, where I served from 1979 to 1984. Both on duty and for myself, I kept a journal. He handed over the breech to the archive, and kept his own.

Some Russian negotiations were delivered to us in recordings, however, we mostly listened to the “live” broadcast. I HAD TO RECOGNIZE THE RUSSIANS CANNOT BE BEAT BECAUSE OF THE LANGUAGE. The most interesting was said between peers or friends, they were not shy in expressions. I flipped through a few pages of my old posts, here are some of them:

WHERE IS THE LOG?
- FUCK KNOWS HIM, THEY SAY, ON THE SATELLITE THE MACACO IS ITCHING.
Translation
- WHERE IS CAPTAIN DEREVYANKO?
- I DON'T KNOW, THEY SAY THAT IS WORKING VIA A CLOSED COMMUNICATION CHANNEL AND TRACKING THE AMERICAN TESTS OF THE Mk-48 TORPEDO PROTOTYPE.- SEREG, CHECK. DIMKA TOLD THAT THE CANADIAN IS IN YOUR BOWL THE HALL…PU RINSING.
Translation:
- SERGEY, DMITRY REPORTED THAT A CANADIAN ANTI-SUBJECT HELICOPTER IS CARRYING OUT ACOUSTIC SOUNDING IN YOUR SECTOR.
Translation:
- (SOUTH - WEST OF YOUR FIFTH?) MILITARY TRANSPORT DISCHARGE ACOUSTIC BUOYS IN THE AREA OF THE POSSIBLE LOCATION OF THE SERIES "K" SUBMARINE, A LOT OF SMALL OBJECTS ON THE RADAR SCREEN.
- THE CHIEF BOURGEON IS SITTING UNDER THE WEATHER, SILENT.
Translation:
- AMERICAN AIRCASE CARRIER CLOSES IN A STORM AREA, OBSERVING RADIO SILENCE.

STARGAZER SEES A BUBBLE, ALWAYS WITH SPITS.
Translation:
- OPTICAL SURVEILLANCE STATION REPORTS THAT AMERICAN TANKER PLANE IS OUT OF FUEL HOSE.

HERE WE HAVE AN INTELLIGENT FOOL TURNED ON, SAYING, SORRY, GOT OFF THE COURSE, THE MOTOR IS BREAKED, AND ITSELF IS ANOTHER…CHIT. HIS PAIR OF DRY WORKED, THEY HAVE A BIRCH SHOUTING.
- DRIVE HIM FUCKING ... Y, I DO NOT WANT TO GET P ... FOR THIS JAUNDICE. IF NECESSARY, LET THE BORDERS WRAPPED HIM IN A PERDAK, AND THE TEAM - TO OUR SPECIALIST, TO DRAW A TALE.
Translation:
- DURING A FLEET EXERCISE, A SOUTH KOREA VESSEL CAME CLOSE TO THE AREA OF OPERATIONS, SUGGESTING A BREAKDOWN. WHEN THE SU-15 PAIR OVERFLOWED, THE WARNING RADAR STATION "BIRCH" WORKED.
- TELL ME GO, I DON'T WANT PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF THIS KOREAN. IF TRYING TO LEAVE THE AREA - DESTROY THE VESSEL AND TOW IT, AND THE TEAM - FOR INTERROGATION.

Analyzing the events of World War II, American military historians have found very interesting fact- in a sudden clash with the forces of the Japanese, the Americans, as a rule, made decisions much faster and, as a result, defeated even superior enemy forces. After examining this pattern, scientists came to the conclusion that the average word length for Americans is 5.2 characters, while for the Japanese it is 10.8. Therefore, it takes 56 percent less time to issue orders. For the sake of "interest", they analyzed the Russian speech and it turned out that the length of words in the Russian language is on average 7.2 characters, HOWEVER, IN CRITICAL SITUATIONS, THE RUSSIAN-SPEAKING TEAM SWITCHES TO NON-NORMATIVE VOCABULARY - AND THE LENGTH OF WORDS IS REDUCED TO (!) 3.2 characters.

let the border guards wrap him in a fart, and the team to our special officer
draw a fairy tale.

During a naval exercise, a South Korean vessel came close to the area
actions citing breakdowns. When flying a pair of Su-15 worked
radar warning station "Birch". Tram-ram ... , at
an attempt to leave the area, deprive the ship of progress and tow.

I am an American, but I grew up in the USSR, my father served as a naval attache at the embassy in Moscow. Having lived for 12 childhood years in Moscow, when I left, I spoke Russian better than English. But that's not the point, we recently moved to another house and I found my logs. My abilities in Russian were in demand by the Navy intelligence and I served with them from 1979 to 1984. On duty and for myself, I kept a journal. He handed over the breech to the archive, and his own. We - 7 people, including two former German officers who were in captivity in the USSR, were considered the best linguists in the Navy. We listened to the broadcast 24/7 and sometimes, especially when there were exercises, we spent 18 hours on headphones.
There was something in the recording, but mostly "live" broadcast. I must admit that the Russians cannot be defeated precisely because of the language. The most interesting was said between peers or friends, they were not shy in expressions. I've only skimmed through a few pages of my old posts, here are a few:

An example is the phrase:
- 32nd, I ORDER IMMEDIATELY DESTROY THE ENEMY TANK LEADING FIRE ON OUR POSITIONS -
translation..
- 32nd, FUCK ABOUT THIS!
