Post by: MikeUK on April 03, 2009, 22:26:10 pm
The NATO phonetic alphabet is used to relay individual letters to other units over a radio. This is mainly for team speak but is available in /r radio if you want.


A = Alpha
B = Bravo
C = Charlie
D = Delta
E = Echo
F = Foxtrot
G = Golf
H = Hotel
I = India
J = Juliet
K = Kilo
L = Lima
M = Mike
N = November
O = Oscar
P = Papa
Q = Quebc
R = Romeo
S = Sierra (Pron: See-aer-ah)
T = Tango
U = Uniform
V = Victor
W = Whisky
X = Xray
Y = Yankee
Z = Zulu

You may want to know it.

How different? They use the same as this topic saying

What you mean "I belongs to one myself" ?

 :ps: Alpha - Zulu is the phonetic alphabet using in armies (NATO, UN, USArmy, USMC, USN, USAF, etc.) as I know

As far as I know, this Phonetic Alphabet is used World-Wide.
----------

Also, yes, he got all of them correct.  I always knew the Phonetic Alphabet, and wondered why 'ARPD' never used it.

I'm afraid your incorrect, although this alphabet is presently the most widely used since 1956 when the U.S had their own phonetic alphabet;

'Able
Baker
Charlie
Dog
Easy
Fox'.
(etc)

It isn't world wide, nor entirely the same through out all countries - different locations have adapted the alphabet for their own use, an example of this is germans transfering Alpha to Ärger which means Anger. The NATO Phonetic Alphabet is sort of like a guide-line, I think America still has it's own, but it's been changed and adapted from the NATO phonetic alphabet.

If this is all very confusing to you, then basicaly;

The NATO Alphabet is the main phonetic alphabet used by NATO forces, although some countries such as Germany and America have modified the alphabet to suit their own needs. It isn't a world-wide alphabet how ever, Russia does not use this alphabet for example, nor does Japan, etc.

Also the LAPD, As I understand it use names, such as Tom for T and David for D. (Google)

Good info.

Everywhere you go they have a different phonetic alphabet. I learned it doesn't matter WHAT you say, as long as it's undisputably clear of what letter you're meaning to say, such as like "Net" wouldn't be proper, with radio spikes, could sound like "Bet"

My department (real life) goes by
Adam
Boy
Charles
David
Edward
Frank
George
Henry
Ida
John
King
Lincoln
Mary
Nora
Ocean
Paul
Queen
Robert
Sam
Tom
Union
Victor
William
Xray
Yellow
Zebra

So it all depends where you're from, usually it's different between EVERY department. It's complicated, really. Kind of like 10 Codes, my department's codes are 1/2 off of the nearest department.

Codes suck. But sound cool... lol

Killer

I believe Rory's is actually what the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) uses in real life, but some of the other versions are also correct for armed forces' use.
