GI- Government Issue

SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics; originally Special Weapons Assault Team) is a specialized unit in many United States police departments, which is trained to perform dangerous operations.
GI or G.I. is a term describing a US soldier or an item of their equipment. The term is often thought to be an initialism of "Government Issue" but the origin of the term is in fact "Galvanized Iron" after the letters "GI" that were stamped on US Army metal trash cans made from it. It was later assumed that GI stood for Government Issue and the term was applied to other equipment and the soldiers themselves. Alternative interpretations include General Issue, General Infantry, Ground Infantry, General Invasion, Government Inductee, and Gastrointestinal (a reference to problems claimed to come from the poor quality of the food, probably a joke).

A GI is an American soldier GI = government issue
If you mean GIS rather than GIs then that stands for Geographical Information System

I wasn't sure, but since this is in the careers section, do you mean SWOT analysis? (For Marketing--strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats)...
Or, you may be speaking of the Military Term, in which case it would stand for Special Weapons and Tactics,
GI is usually thought to mean "Government Issue, but actually stands for Galvanized Iron, because this is what would be stamped on U.S. Army metal trash cans.

Pronounced Swat BUT Sometimes spelt SWOT - Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Often used when putting together a business plan. Gls in the licensing industry stands for glass or glasses.
Hope this helps.
