"Roger" is simply a confirmation that you received the transmission. There's a funny story about "Roger Dodger" over on Wikipedia that will give you some more insight.

basically it just means "ok" or "i understand what ya said" so the person speaking to you knows you get it. its kinda funny, my brother was in the army with a guy named Roger Rogers....and they use to joke and say Roger that Roger Rogers....now with my husband in the military, its kinda amusing to hear him on the phone talking to people in his unit. Hope ya got your answer! Happy new year

it's usually a term used by some one using a waki talkie or some other sort of communications it means I understand what you said or I will do what you said. Or if not solders it means I agree with what you said.

I do not know where they got the name "Roger" from but I know it means that the receiver of the message has understood the message and is saying "i got your message"

rodger is to the military as 10-4 is to cops.
I never thought I'd use those thingies outside of the SATs...

Sort of like saying "acknowledged" and putting an exclamation point on the end.

If I say .. "Drop the bomb at 0300 hours .. and you say .. "Roger that" .. it means that you received and understood my orders clearly. Good Luck ! :)
