When you say the chain of command do you abbreviate (OCS) or do you say it out Officer Candidate School and the like?
 
say everything. Learning your "big 4" before you show up is a good idea, just don't be one of those guys who says "but sir, in the DEP book ...," or even better yet "at home I learned it this way ..."
 
Accepted Abbreviations

If you really want to impress the hell out of people and perhaps get commissioned as a j.g. try the following:

Call all females "Madam" because Ma'm is an abbreviation.

Don't (Do Not) use contractions, it shows weakness

Don't say "O'Clock" say "Of the Clock"

Talk about Amplitude Modulation and Frequency Modulation, only losers say "AM and FM"

Bottom Line: Learn an English Accent, it will save you

Reminds me of a line spoken about Rolls-Royce tech reps that were at my squadron. "They had British accents, so they must be smart!"
 
Latin

The trickier aspect comes into the Latin you must use, (last time I checked the the second RLP inspection is done entirely in Latin), I think you are allowed to abbreviate etc. and i.e. but must not abbreviate Modus Operandi. The drill instructors really seem to have a thing for Modus Operandi!
