Phonetic Alphabet

Are you familiar with the phonetic alphabet the military uses? Well, soldiers commonly spell out words using their alphabet. They will say “alpha” instead of saying the letter “a” and “omega” instead of “o”. Perhaps you’ve even heard soldiers talking right next to you but you didn’t understand a word.
