If he’s on the spectrum, oh well.
I some people on the spectrum that are military buffs. They just get overdetailed in trying to ask questions about the most basic/stupid of stuff (belt hooks, etc) |

A better question is should non-HAMs be allowed to use Amateur phonetics?

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 This thread is Whiskey Tango Foxtrot lima oscar lima |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I, too, used a bastardized variation. When I worked phone tech support, I would frequently get calls from people where English was not their first language. I had a call from Pakistan, and was phonetically spelling a word, with the other person repeating. Without thinking, I said "India." Long, awkward pause... |

You know I don't give a fuck!! Especially now brother. Look at my damn hair man!! Lol!! Then peep out that $45,000 dollar silver 2 door convertible Chrysler 200 S that is now my baby and then you might see why I am so stoked brother!! Combine that with my ambitions and you might have an idea as to what is in store for my ass in the very near future brother!! Pre-meditation my brother!! I have been patiently waiting on the chance to be able to offer any descent female whatever she wants since I own the most pimp car around this area by far and you know it!! That fucking car is so bad ass!! All that I need is a little bump in the trunk maybe baby!! Actually I don't need to change a damn thing yet do I? That car is so luxurious that it scares most people but my ass knows exactly what the hell I have and exactly how to use it to help me find my future wife!! I have been very patient as all of you can attest to. Now it's time for me to start pulling rank in the clubs with absolutely zero anxiety because I now own a $45,000 Chrysler 200 S with 18 inch black rims, a hard top convertible, top of the line audio equipment not to mention navigation equipment, and also first and foremost straight my own damn car without a co-signer!! I can't wait til its my time to bust on the scene after all of these years of patiently waiting on the fucking sidelines!! That car is going to be taken care of all the time by yours truly baby or else I wouldn't be a damn (last name) baby!! I know that my father would be proud of me for what I am doing!! It's all pre-meditation on my behalf!! I had to wait on a moment like this before I stepped back out on the scene and clean house!! I just need a good wing man and you know it!! Come on!!

O is not a number...it's zero It bothers me when people say "o" instead of zero when referencing a phone number or something If I have a need to say "immediately", I'm more likely to say "ommediately". That from only a couple years as a wireman doing radio operator stuff. |

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. |

I don't use it in everyday conversation but if I'm on the phone and I say the address is "Verdun Dr. with a Victor" nobody seems to have a problem with it and the message is successfully communicated.
