Yes. I think this is the first time I've ever corresponded with an OBE.

Here in the military part of the US bureaucracy OBE means "overcome by events." "You can stop working on that project, it's been OBE-ed." And in this illustration it is pronounced Oh Bee Eed with the last word rhyming with screed.

Brings up a possible new topic of verbing an acronym, come to think on it.
