In Texas BZ could mean Bug Zapper.......good to clarify.

Chief that signal applies with the Navy as well as the CG.
( Likely derived from a flag hoist.)


(We didn't do flag hoists other than the Jolly Roger in submarines so that's the extent of my knowlege on that topic. Arrrrr!)

I thought that was a navy signal as well but having always stayed as far away from the step-father (US Navy), this red-headed stepchild wasn't sure if they used it or not.
