"Danger close" means that friendly explosions/fire/air support are close to your area, if I'm not mistaken.
Danger Close is the area around an explosion that is, well, Dangerously Close. Anyone in Danger Close is at risk of getting exploded, or at least hurt by falling buildings etc.
Danger close is indirect fire (mortars/artillery/bombs) that is called in within such a radius that it poses a danger to friendly forces.
It was named after Oscar the Grouch whose full name is Oscar Michael Goldblum. Oh and yes his younger brother is beloved actor Jeff Goldblum.
" can anyone tell me why the term "Oscar Mike" got so popular? "MW2, but also Generation Kill, which is probably why MW2 had people declaring the Oscar Mike-ness of everything.
Bravo 2, Oscar Mike!
Enemy foot mobile, Oscar Mike!
This ham sandwich, Oscar Mike! *omm nom nom nom*
its army jargon for "on the move". its really not used that often in reality but the video games industry discovered it from the film generation kill and have been over using it ever since.
Oscar...like Oscar Mayer hot dogs
Mike...like Mike's hard lemonade
It's when you want a hot dog and a Mike's hard lemonade
Both "on the move" and "on mission." Same thing, really. And danger close is when danger is, get this, fucking close.
I love how most people just read the original post and then give the same answer as all the guys above them :-)
I always thought it meant "moving out", but that and "on the move" pretty much goes for the same thang, right?
