Civilian phonetic is stupid. We use military phonetic and *gasp* military time at my job even by non veterans.

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. ETA....going to add the civilian vs military phonetic alphabet https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/58463/27e0f11f3f6aeb9ba4897ea3a5e80f4f-965328.png

We actually had this issue. Two peeps were trying to meet for the gym. Dude said ok 5 o clock she goes see ya then. She's there at 0500 and he's there at 1700. Quote HistoryQuoted:

How about when some guy who was in the army 30 years ago continues to say things like "sixteen hundred hours" instead of just saying 4 o'clock. I get it. Somewhere, sometime in the past, some dumbass missed his directions by an entire 12 hours due to being an idiot. In the real world, when you work in an office from 8 to 5, there should never be any confusion of which 4 o'clock we are talking about. If EVER we are scheduling something at 4am, it will be well known. If ever I say "we'll meet in the board room at 4" and somebody shows up at 4am, they are retarded. Notice how I referred to working in an office from 8 to 5, but did not specify am or pm? If you got confused, you are retarded. She's there at 0500 and he's there at 1700.

I can't use the NATO phonetic alphabet because I haven't been in the military? Golf foxtrot yankee.
I also use 24-hour time with 0-prefix because I work with computers that use 24-hour time. Come at me, bro. |

Because its the correct thing to do? Its a skill every man should have. I hate it when people try to say things like: "B, as is Babushka" , "C, as is Clarinet", now THAT sounds annoying. Just about everyone I know uses correct phonetic alphabet code; anything else is just plain ignorant. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I've talked with people who were trying to read something to me, and said something like "'P' as in, uhh... umm... 'P' as in... uhhh..." Jeebus man, "Papa!" And can you really not think of another word that begins with "P"? Not knowing a standardized phonetic code just makes you look dumb. I've also talked to people who were confused, for some inexplicable reason, by the phonetics, and said "Can you just say the letter?" "OK, 'M'." "N?" "No, 'M' as in 'Mike'." Jeebus, man. |

Seriously? Yes it's fine. More than just the military use it.
IIRC, the phoenetic alphabet we're familiar with today found most of its orgins in the International Civil Aviation Organization (or whatever it was called in the 20's / 30's). Anyone use this yet? lol

Back when I was installing DirecTV you had to use the NATO alphabet to read SNs on some hardware. You're welcome for my service.

Medical is mostly in 24 hour and even uses the standards. Because M as in mancy equals Jim’s dead. On a serious note 24 hour is used in most medical records system and nato standard is also because it’s civilian. Man, stolen valor? that’s just funny, you have too much time on your hands or just prone to get offended. Get a hobby and leave the offended BS to liberals.

As stated numerous times, NOT using the NATO phonetic alphabet, is just retarded. It's not just military, and if everyone learned it, it would eliminate the "N as in, uh... uh..." BS. I tend to go slow when using it though, as there's a distinct difference between ex-Mil folks, vs regular Joes. Ex-mil take pride in being able to rattle off the NATO phonetic alphabet as fast as they can say it (and are used to translating it when heard at those speeds). Regular Joes, even folks who know the NATO alphabet aren't used to hearing it rattled off at 250mph. |
