So I should use words that you are not familiar with to communicate with you? That doesn't make a Lot of Sense.

Quoted: 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. Phonetic Uber ! |

Op is bad and should feel bad.
Knowing the correct phonetics is essential for radio communications and on the phone too. Random fail ones made up on the spot drive me insane. How copy...over. |

Non mil guy checking in.
Same alphabet is used in civilian aviation, which I grew up around. I’ll rattle off my alpha bravo charlies and not think twice beyond getting my American Airlines confirmation of whatever communicated. |

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. View Quote This has nothing to do with military anything, whether he's a weirdo or not. |

ALLOWED?!?!? They should be REQUIRED to use military phonetics, 24 hour time and NATO standard dates.

I work in the maritime industry and use it all the time.
We do 24hr time as well. Believe it or not this stuff is not just for or from the military. |
|
Learned it while working at FedEx Express for many years, even had to use the "MILITARY TIME" and "ZULU TIME". Calling in to our airport station for container weights, labels and time of exit were all done in Zulu time and using phonetic alphabet.
Stop worrying about other people being free. |

I hate it when people don't know the phonetic alphabet. It exists for a reason.
I also use radio etiquette on the phone as necessary depending on how good the connection is. |

You do realize that the phonetic alphabet isn't only a military thing, right? What you call the "civilian" phonetic alphabet presumably is the old phonetic alphabet used by some US police agencies. If he was using the police phonetics instead of the international standard ones, would you be complaining that he was a police wanna-be? Maybe he should learn the "DX" phonetics, then he can be a radio nerd. |

OP, between this thread and your comment in Tonto Golstein's thumb-smashing thread, maybe you should step away from the keyboard for a while.

I do it all the time over the phone, and the people on the other end often appreciate it.
Never served. In fact, it was taught to my 10th grade geometry class on the first day of school by Friar Ignatius at a Catholic high school in Baltimore. He also had no prior military experience. It’s just one of those things a man should know. |

ATC uses it extensively, and they get paid more than you make in a Month.
Every Month. |

As a pilot, I use the military phonetic system. I have a scanner and it is comical to hear the officers use the civilian or whatever else they can come up with. Want a good laugh? Ask a telemarketer or tech support person to spell something.
