Correction - you can wear a beret in the hopes of looking gay, but the Army still won‘t discharge you....

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?

 

[Yrys]

Better to add here then start a new one. But I seem to remember a longer  and more recent one in radio chatter ...

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.
