Reminds me of that old TV trope of saying “over and out”. This is not how you end a radio transmission. “Over” means that you are finished talking and are now awaiting a reply, “out” means that you finished talking and are going to stop listening for a reply. Saying both together is contradictory, you only say “out” when you’re done.

Ah, so “out” is like an EOF!
Same with roger wilco. Roger means i understand the message. Wilco means i understand the message and will comply.
… feels kinda like someone saying “period full stop”
it’s like they’re doing a mic drop >_>
When I learned this in JROTC, it ruined me and I get so upset when I hear it in media now. Been like 30+ years and I’m still angry when I hear it.
