Bingo

"Besh thirteen!''" "''GOT IT!"

- Bingo caller and a player

Bingo was a game that involved a randomly-numbered grid that was divided into columns with the headings Besh, Isk, Nern, Grek, and Osk, which spelled out the word "BINGO." A bingo caller would randomly draw numbers for the grid and call them out. The object of the game was to fill in the numbered squares on the grid in either a row or a column, in accordance to each number that was randomly called. The first player to complete a column or row would then yell out, "Bingo!" That game would then end, and a prize would be collected, if one was offered.

The Veterans of Galactic Wars post on would often host Bingo games every  night. After his retirement, Gunnery Sergeant Tuffass would frequent the post on Bingo night. He would often meditate prior to the start of the game, as he claimed it improved his chances of winning.

"Bingo" was also military parlance for the point where maximum range or endurance in the field had been reached. This term was most commonly used by vehicle pilots, as it referred to a craft's fuel state, and was usually announced when it was time to end the exercise or combat in order to successfully return to base.
