You got me Ron,
LSO= Landing Signal Officer, they stand on a small platform at the end of the ship and are in radio contact with the incoming planes. They advise the pilot on what he corrections he needs in order to land his plane on the flight deck properly. The platform has a large net next to it in which the LSO crew can jump into in case of a landing gone wrong.
IO= Indian Ocean
Sand Crab or side stepping beach combing bastard, any person who isn't a Sailor.
Bubble Head, slang for Submarine Sailor
Bombed and Scarfed, a Naval exercise were planes drop bombs into the ocean, Scarfed the planes guns shoot into the water.
