There’s a military slang referring to someone’s location. And it’s a number. The phrase would be like “We need a twenty on the General,” or something like that.
Anyone know off hand for sure what the number is and whether that would be a correct example of its usage?

Last year, when Jason Bay was brought onto the Met and hailed as one of the great hopes for the injury-plagued team, I began Bay Watch as people were invited to predict how long until–not if, but until–Bay wound up on the DL. The answer, as it turned out, was July 27, after sustaining a concussion several days earlier while chasing down a Dodgers fly ball.
But it’s a new season and I want to start on a positive note.
So…Jason Bay, during spring training, has apparently strained his ribcage during batting practice (following earlier back pains) and may wind up on the DL. So this year’s Bay Watch is…predict when, or if, he’ll be in the starting lineup.
