Phonetic Alphabet:
The phonetic alphabet is important to learn because it allows for effective communication and clarity speaking. In the civilian world, you may hear people say "A as in Apple" one time, and "A as in Acrobat" a different time, but in the military there is a specific word associated with each letter to allow for uniform understanding of letters being relayed while spelling words or clarifying speech. Below is the full military phonetic alphabet, do your best to memorize it... you will be tested on this information during inspection and it's a great tool to have!
