Depends on who you are talking to. An artillery gunner would say a mil is a thousandth of a radian. I think at one time a tenth of a penny or a thousandth of a dollar was also called a mil. So the real answer is "a thousandth of something". </FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" BACK="#ffffff" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 PTSIZE=12 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"><BR>
