Question about AOB

I don't know if it is still true, but back in my younger military days, a specific office of the Navy was responsible for developing and maintaining acronyms and initializations for the United States government.

I read the list of standard initializations and found that the United States Navy found it necessary to initialize the word "FLAG" to "FLG". I am sure removing that expensive "A" saved the government much money and time.
