A=Alpha, B=Bravo.....do you know them all?

[TheNinja]

Do you know all of the words used when describing a letter (esp by the military and people on phones/radios). I thought of this b/c today I was saying a work starting with P on the phone the the guy kept saying "what", so I said P as in "..... Phillip" which didn't make much sense. First to get them all wins a prize....the prize of self worth.

A-Alpha
B-Bravo
C-Charlie
D-Delta
E-Echo
F-Frank(I think)
G-???
H-???
I-???
J-???
K-???
L-???
M-Mike
N-Nancy
O-???
P-???
Q-???
R-???
S-???
T-Tango
U-???
V-???
W-???
X-Xylophone(I think)
Y-???

Cool, thanks guys, maybe I should hang it up by my phone so I don't end up thinking of bad words that start with certain letters rather than the real ones....V is for Victor, P is for Papa....got it.

kilo

Thanks for the link - when I learned these back in cub scouts it was Able, Baker, Charlie etc. and I've never thought about upgrading, or the need to. Learn something new every day here.
