When I used to work in customer service we often used the Swedish military phonetic alphabet. It’s very useful for getting e-mail adresses right.
I used the NATO aphabet a few times when dealing with non-native speakers. |

I do it over the phone for strange spellings, names, etc. It’s effective. Radio people do it for a reason.

FPNI. I never served, but a phonetic alphabet comes in handy, especially sounding out words or names on the phone and it doesn’t make sense to learn a different one.

My first career was insurance. We were taught in training courses to use the military alphabet when reading VINs and other information that could be easily mistaken.

Ever order over the phone with Grainger because it had to be over the phone?
Their part numbers scream for this and that is often how their employees repeat or confirm what you're ordering. |

That phonetic list is also used by other entities. It is also known as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) alphabet and the International Aviation Alphabet as well as the NATO alphabet. It is in common use with Amateur Radio (ham) operators for stateside (although a different list based on location names is often used with foreign (i.e. DX) contacts).

I had to learn what OP is calling the “military” phonetic alphabet in my UHF marine radio class so...whatevs.
I bet some people have a problem with my habit of using 24 hour time...which we used when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer. If so, go feel special someplace else. |

Honestly I wish everyone used it.
Particularly those who’s job it is to deal with part numbers, tracking numbers and the like. Nothing’s more annoying than a Karen sounding bitch who starts a 19 character tracking number with “s as in Sandra, b as in boy, h as in SHUT THE FUCK UP KAREN!!!! you wouldn’t have to explain the god damn letter if you would just say it properly the first time. Makes me want to hang up immediately |

HP does it all of the time, when verifying part and serial numbers.
They don't use the "civilian" version, either (I didn't even know there was such a thing, until now.) I never really gave it much thought and don't really care, if it facilitates efficient part replacement. |

The military version is the Gold Standard. We use them but sometimes kind of let our standards slide and it sounds more like the Boone County Ninja working as a Dispatcher or something.

I often use phonetics when spelling a word or giving my email addy out.
Makes things much easier in the long in as I’ve found most people to be fucking retarded and have trouble understanding basic English |
