i have always wondered where Faith picked that paticular phrase from. and they never explain it on the show that i can remember. so imagine my surprise when i heard it in a scifi movie called “Event Horizon” which was on the scifi channel sat. night. i didn’t think that Faith was a big scifi fan. but the way that it was used in the movie was to describe basically that everthing was fine and ready to go. so i was thinking that this is a military term maybe?

(my close captioning showed the phrase 5 by 5 instead of 5 x 5 so i edited the topic title to reflect that)
