I was never in, but I thought I knew them. It turns out that I just make stuff up. In searching, I see that they have been consistent since 1957.

X-ray is the only one that hasn't ever changed, if I paid attention correctly.

Being you listed them all in the second post, I'll suspect that no one will be answering "no" now.

 

[BadDNA]

You missed echo.

 

[Mike B.]

Yep, use it all the time. It is the phonetic alphabet not the military alphabet and it should be used more because people are morons. Just the other day I had someone on the phone trying to clarify the spelling of their name and they said "M as in M&M." Oh I'm sorry, did you mean Eminem?

i was accustomed to military phonetics when i was in then had to learn the civil service version when i became a cop. talk about confusing, especially when you're calling out a tag while trying to keep up with the car in front of you.

I like Yorick Hunt

 

[Westy]

I like Yorick Hunt

It is a great name for restaurant reservations too.

 

[loco-gringo]

I do love Westy's list.

It's not "military", it called the International Phoenetic Code. The military just happens to use it, causing that common misnomer. Good public safety agencies have adopted it and the FAA has been using it since its inception.

I had the same issue when I was a tow truck driver. I didn't have to chase people, but I was using the military phonetics and they would give me a hard time. I gave up and would just make up crazy crap on the fly, at least I got a laugh.

except that it's not "international"

 

[Jeronimo]

The next time you go to any English Speaking country, bring a scanner that picks up Air Traffic Control frequencies and tell me they aren't using the International Phoenetic Code. It is the international standard, contrary to what you may believe.

by "international" i was making the obvious statement that non-english speaking countries don't use it. i've had to listen in on enough intercepted radio transmissions while overseas to know that the "international phonetic code" aka, military phonetics, is the way to go. i hate that the po-po makes up their own crap, makes no sense if you ask me. now...get back to your mall job, your ninja skills are needed right away

Yeah, I guess all of the other English speaking countries in the World aren't very international.

Now go back to chasing crack dealers in the projects on your huffy.

Wrong Mr PC Plod.....

But the International version your refering to is Actually the NATO phonetic alphabet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_phonetic_alphabet

the NATO alphabet assigns code words to the letters of the English alphabet acrophonically so that critical combinations of letters (and numbers) can be pronounced and understood by those who transmit and receive voice messages by radio or telephone regardless of their native language, especially when the safety of navigation or persons is essential. It is used by many national and international organizations, including the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It is a subset of the much older International Code of Signals (INTERCO),

 

[manimal]

cool, i did not know that. i dealt with a lot of ATC message traffic that was definitely not using english, perhaps it's not required everywhere?
