My service dept manager uses his own phonetics, and just says whatever word first comes to mind. Gets pretty funny sometimes.

Lots of us use the phonetic alphabet OP. I go to release my clearence on 345kV circuit breaker E and it is circuit breaker ECHO not E. Talk like that day in day out for 30 years and you will develop some habits. I would not sweet the small things.

I have a guy in the office, not really a stolen valor guy but he definitely wears camo outside of the office. He is sorta autistic when it comes to military and history stuff. So I kinda just think he is a militaria buff and dont think much of it. However when on the phone with customers and going over catalog numbers and sales numbers, its all military phonetic alphabet. There are times where I swear he is calling in air support or an artillery attack. No one else in the office has issues speaking with customers and none of us need to rattle off sierra, foxtrot zulu all day, not sure why he does. I feel like this is confusing to customers, especially those that have no idea whiskey tango foxtrot he is talking about.

Get off your high horse dude. Maybe you should think twice about using any civilian ideas, terms, clothing or customs. Nice virtue signaling thread. |
