New Thing #9: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie

This is something that might come up on double Jeopardy some day: I took the time to look up all the military alphabet letters. I first wrote the letters down and guessed. Man, I didn't do so well. I also gave my first phone interview today too. I don't know how it went--but maybe I'll get a call back.

The military alphabet uses english words to communicate internationally. They are meant to be used when one party is english-speaking if another party is not. This is crucial in tower to airplane communication. If a plane from NYC is landing in Paris, the Paris tower will communicate using this alphabet. There are variations in some instances, for example, at an airport with tons of Delta flights, they use the word "Dixie" or "David." This military alphabet is the "NATO Phonetic Alphabet" and is the most widely used spelling alphabet.
