chocolate bar
Detailed etymology
definitions
noun
- (military) a small, black, bar-shaped sensor worn by a soldier during training exercises, which indicates when they have been hit by a 'round' fired from a firearm fitted with an emitter, in a similar manner to laser tag.
Misplacing any of these sensors is a serious offence, which is unfortunate as they have a tendency to become loose and detach in the field.
If you’ve participated in the Army Training Evaluation Centre (ATEC) evaluation, the ‘chocolate bars’ will not be foreign to you.
Soldiers will be fitted with ‘chocolate bars’ — which are like sensors to identify whether you’ve been hit.
