However in Military Voice Procedure, the question can be either answered by "YES" or "NO". Positive and Negative in my experience were always reserved for the denoting temperature, or blood groups. And Affirmative well that is either a Yank or Holliwood thing. Consider that you have about 45 seconds at times to transmit on your net. You need to use as few words a possible, that have very specific meanings.

Keep to words that are two syllables or less. Firstly they will not occupy needless tranmission time. Secondly, they are less likely to get confused with another word.

You need to use the least amount of time to transmit the maximum amount of information.
