Military Alphabet charts

The military alphabet was put into place to make sure there was no errors when communicating over radio or telephone .The military requires that you repeat unclear words or instructions and provide confirmation to prevent these errors. The military and other radio-telephone operators (RTOs) (such as ship captains and commercial pilots) use a phonetic or spelling alphabet alphabet to identify letters in messages so that there is no doubt as to what word was said once it is spelled phonetically. For example, using the military alphabet, the word “bomb” would be “ Bravo Oscar Mike Bravo” while “bond” would be “Bravo Oscar November Delta, thereby eliminating any confusion.
