Mox nix! – From the German phrase, "Es macht nichts!" Often used by U.S. servicemen to mean "It doesn't matter" or "It's not important".[1]   AND THERE YOU HAVE IT...

If we didn't have the right materials to complete a job, we would mox nix it and get it done. also if someone asked you if you wanted to do something an acceptable answer was mox nix.

Comment by Ric Perry on December 25, 2016 at 7:02pm

I thought it meant "Means Nothing"...Oh well, it wouldn't be the first or last time I was wrong.

Mox Nix is what I heard, Dennis.

Comment by Glenn Gutshall on April 29, 2016 at 6:22pm

I believe it's "macht nichts" Dennis.  Word for word it means "makes nothing".

Comment by Dennis Erickson on April 29, 2016 at 6:15pm

Does anyone still say mox nix?

Comment by Dave Gettman on February 29, 2016 at 10:50am

Pay it forward, as they say Joe.

Comment by Joe Sellner on February 28, 2016 at 5:02pm
Yes Dave. The stablization gyro worked well. I do not recall that are nemesis the T-72 had that. Another good piece of technology from
The Roswell crash.

2d DRAGOONS

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
