Love it.

ol. Jeffrey Addison with the Defense Language Institute was tasked to develop a common language the Army could use in with Hashtag, or # as most referred to it. Addison said the research demanded his complete immersion in Generation Z culture.

“OMG, it was cray-cray, for reals,” said Addison. “I was like, ‘You want me to work all day like a dog without anything to show for it? Hashtag AfghanistanAllOverAgain. I don’t think so. YOLO.’”

SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth - I prefer a more subtle means of defeating the safe space. Are you familiar with the tactics used to get Noriega out of the Vatican Embassy? Use this in a similar manner.
