Yeah, JIM keeps a running list of all TLAs in his PSK and can whip them out ASAP and has posted them here. We need to sticky these things. Even people who have been around for a while occasionally get a new TLA that makes them say, “What?!?”
Bah! OldBaldGuy beat me to it.

Welcome climber. We don't flame for a question like this- not even bother to lightly toast.
The others have answered the question, but I'll chip in an analogy. BOB is the land-based version of an ejector seat or a life raft. You really hope you never need to use your survival machine, but if you ever need it, you'll be really, really glad you have it.
