What is the Marine Corps alphabet things like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie. Tell me what it is A-Z. And I know it's not called the Marine Corps alphabet since the army uses it to so what is it really called.
I would like a relply. Thank you.

The Phonetic Alphabet is Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Xray, Yankee, Zulu. Thats what it was in 1967 when I learned it and committed it to memory. Im not aware of it changing since then.

That is it. It would be easy to find if you did a search on the internet.
Capitalize Marine and Corps- note that there is nothing between the p and the s.

Just tryin' to keep these meatheads on their toes!!! There is a small chance that one or two of them may need to learn morse code some time in the near future!

Perhaps you didn't miss it-it was just in your other hand and you overlooked it!

Yeah, when I was learning morse down in Pesacola, all I could think of was the Police song De-Doo-Doo-Doo De-Dah-Dah-Dah. Talk about making a job harder than it had to be!
