Sure it is. But you have to watch where and when you use it. Some "kinder/gentler" military personnel might get offended and their feelings hurt. Can't have that ya know. Some place won't even allow you to tell someone to "suck it up" and press on. Our US military still kicks butt, sometimes your worst enemy works right beside you.

Not as much as it used to be. It was a substitute for saying this is all F'd up. But now people just go ahead and use the F-word. Frick or Frickin is used when the F-bomb is not appropriate (like in a meeting). But yes, SNAFU, FUBAR, BOHICA, MODICUM, (never heard WETSU), and Jacked up are all is use based on the circumstances.

Yes... though when I left the navy in 1999, FUBAR and Charlie-Foxtrot were in more common usage.
Use of the actual "F" word was highly frowned on during my instructor tour also during my tour as a flight-briefer / grader.
