Just in case you were wondering why the military uses this phonetic alphabet, it's for clarity of communications on the radio. Sometimes two-way radios are subject to static, enemy jamming, stuck in a valley where the signal is poor and so forth, but if, say, a forward observer is trying to radio map coordinates back to an artillery battery, simply sayingthe letter "C" can easily be confused by background noise into "D" or "E" or even "V" since they all rhyme. But if he says "Charlie" for "C", there can be no mistaking "Charlie" for "Delta" or "Echo" or "Victor." So if the coordinates are, say, C-19, the operator would say CHARLIE ONE NINER. Now here's where I'vegot a question: I served in the army from 1961 to 1964 and occasionally got to operate a radio, but no one was ever able to tell me why we said "niner" instead of just plain "nine." It was just something we did, but I've always had a hunch it also had to do with clarity, but I've never been able to figure out what number could be confused with "nine," unless it's "five" and the static is really bad….
