Correction - you can wear a beret in the hopes of looking gay, but the Army still won‘t discharge you....
 
Edited some of the new ones in, see the begining of the thread.
 
This is a bit old now, but is it ok if I post a few things here to add to the list? Or is it finished?
 
Better to add here then start a new one. But I seem to remember a longer  and more recent one in radio chatter ...
 
Yup...I have to suppress using NINER on the phone/dictation software when giving numbers/lab results
I’ve always thought that it should be taught in schools. It was designed to prevent misinterpretation. And that’s when I want to use it. As a recent member, I love being able to call HR and spell my name ONCE and have it understood.
 
I used to work with a guy (recently passed) who could string together the most obscure words to do a phonetic spelling over the radio that would leave dispatchers in stitches, or say some complex eastern European-type name and just say 'usual spelling'. It's a learned craft.
 
I actually printed a copy of the phonetic alphabet a couple of weeks ago and gave it to one of our clerks. She was killing me trying to spell stuff over the phone.
