Yep Joe,
    "FUBAR"  really is a military term....

      A few years ago... while on a training exercise in the Jungles of Panama I
was asked to provide a SITREP (SITuation REPort)  My reply of "I Spell: Foxtrot,
Uniform, Bravo, Alpha, Romeo" caused more than a little laughter.   The  radio
operator asked for a confirmation then said "Roger, Confirm FUBAR, Out"

Art "I ain't gonna say what it stands for!" hehehe" Bahrs

Seriously... it could be the drive and head alignment - or the tape
is physically bad, in which case, I think the term to apply to the
tape is FUBAR (a military term, really!) and pray you have another...
