When did FYSA replace FYI?

I'm aware of my situation, I want you to have information about it. Of course I'm an old fart so will stick with FYI.

When I was in, everything was FYI (for your information). That was up until 1999. When I went back to work as a contractor at SOCOM HQs in 2010, everyone was using FYSA (for your situational awareness). At first I thought it was a joke--if you are informed about something, doesn't that become part of your situational awareness? But it turned out that FYSA was used for everything, without an FYI to be found. So who came up with that idea, and I bet they got an MSM when they left the Pentagon for doing it. ;)

Although this whole thing made me think about my commo class in the basic course. We were learning the meaning of words like WILCO, ROGER, and the phonetic alphabet. I remember the comms NCO telling us to stop saying "be advised' at the start of a message and just tell them what you need to tell them. Because once you told them, then they ARE advised.

My theory is fighter pilots. They were talking SA in the 70s and 80s, shooting their watches. They care more about SA than gas, until they don't have gas. --Tanker Pilot Joe
