The ‘NCIS’ spinoff’s newest regular cast member gets tested on acronyms like APB and MTAC by TheWrap’s Stuart Brazell
In Season 2 of “NCIS: New Orleans,” Shalita Grant was promoted from recurring appearances to the main cast as the newest NCIS agent, Sonja Percy. Now that the season is drawing to a close, Grant got a chance to show how much terminology she’s picked up from her new job during a pop quiz with TheWrap’s Stuart Brazell.
Grant got an obvious one to start it off: What does NCIS stand for? From there, an alphabet soup of acronyms and jargon was fed to Grant: CSI, MTAC, BOLO, and ME. Grant did pretty well … except when she was asked what APB stood for.
“A … potentially … embarrassing … basket,” she guessed.

Grant did nail the last term: SECNAV, which refers to the Secretary of the Navy. She noted that Ray Mabus, the real life SECNAV, showed up for a cameo in an earlier episode this season.
“All the people tweeting were like, ‘Who is this random guy who just showed up at the bar?'”
NCIS: New Orleans airs tonight at 9/8c on CBS.
