The March 5 Style article “Fey finds a character tailor-made for her” stated that “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” is “military slang for the abbreviation WTF.” The phrase comes from the military phonetic alphabet; it is not slang. What is Bravo Tango military A spelling alphabet is used to spell parts of a message containing letters and numbers to avoid confusion, because many letters sound similar, for instance "n" and "m" or "f" and "s"; the potential for confusion increases if static or other interference is present. For instance the message "proceed to map grid DH98" could be transmitted as "proceed to map grid Delta-Hotel-Niner-Ait". Using "Delta" instead of "D" avoids confusion between "DH98" and "BH98" or "TH98". The unusual pronunciation of certain numbers was designed to reduce confusion as well.Although, in the book it mentioned that Couzens had slipped through the net, accepted by the Met and had worryingly been given a gun as part of the Diplomatic Protection Group, it failed to mention that he joined the Met as a transfer from Kent Police who had vetted him when they accepted him from the Civil and Nuclear Police who had vetted him and allowed him to carry a gun daily. It just shows that Couzens along with many others have easily bypassed a vetting system that is not fit for purpose.

The Cannonball Run. The Obstructive Bureaucrat trying to stop the illegal road race is watching the contestants at the start gate and getting the woman with his to write down the license plate numbers. He confuses her by using this trope for the numbers (she keeps writing down the word in full until he explains what it means). Definition: phonetic alphabet".

You can find a casual looking magazine with the title of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. That thinking led to them engaging XAPPmedia to design and build the new Google Assistant app called Bravo Tango, a military-inspired abbreviation for “brain training.” It is developed to help soldiers returning from combat in their ongoing efforts to readjust to civilian society. Why do military call enemies tangos Soon after the code words were developed by ICAO (see history below), they were adopted by other national and international organizations, including the ITU, the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United States Federal Government as Federal Standard 1037C: Glossary of Telecommunications Terms [6] and its successors ANSI T1.523-2001 [7] and ATIS Telecom Glossary (ATIS-0100523.2019) [8] (all three using the spellings "Alpha" and "Juliet"), the United States Department of Defense, [9] the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (using the spelling "Xray"), the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International (APCO), and by many military organizations such as NATO (using the spelling "Xray") and the now-defunct Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). We have also seen some annoying examples of officers forgetting the oath they took on joining, requiring them to "serve the Queen in the office of constable with fairness, integrity, diligence and impartiality".

Bravo Zulu” is a Naval signal, conveyed by flag-hoist or voice radio, meaning “well done;” it has also passed into the spoken and written vocabulary. There are some myths and legends attached to this signal. Why do Marines say Bravo Zulu Uniforms today are practical but make officers look like a bag of shite. Personal pride in looking smart both with the uniform and personal appearance have disappeared with most young officers.a b "ITU Phonetic Alphabet and Figure Code" (PDF). ITU-R.

In 2012, a few months after the government announced the Leveson inquiry, two suspects in the racist killing of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 were convicted of his murder. The Macpherson inquiry of 1997 had examined police failures to investigate the crime properly at the time, attributing this to ‘institutional racism’. But Macpherson didn’t thoroughly investigate allegations t The Police Quest series uses the LAPD alphabet to refer to specific units. In the second game, for example, you and your partner are 52mary when called by the dispatcher.

The LAPD variation is used extensively in CHiPs, with the lead characters' call signs starting with 7M (Seven-Mary), with M the common designation for a Motor(cycle) unit. The ITU adopted the IMO phonetic spelling alphabet in 1959, [50] and in 1969 specified that it be "for application in the maritime mobile service only". [51] Echo Tango Sierra: Expiration Term of Service (someone who is about to complete their tour of duty) What does tango mean in the Air Force This military term is code for Continue Mission—pushing through adversity no matter the difficulties. That’s at the heart of The Mission Continues: to never quit until we’ve completed our mission. What does whiskey tango foxtrot mean in military The NATO alphabet (Alpha Bravo code) was originally designed so that every code word is pronounced in each NATO language in the similar way, so there would be no linguistic misunderstandings. There are some discrepancies, however; "Juliet" is usually "Giulietta" in Italian, and easily mistaken for G. Inversely, Quebec is pronounced in the French manner (Kay-bek) which might confuse some English speakers (Kway-bek).To create the code, a series of international agencies assigned 26code words acrophonically to the letters of the Roman alphabet, with the intention of the letters and numbers being easily distinguishable from one another over radio and telephone, regardless of language barriers and connection quality. The specific code words varied, as some seemingly distinct words were found to be ineffective in real-life conditions. In 1956, NATO modified the then-current set of code words used by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO); this modification then became the international standard when it was accepted by ICAO that year and by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) a few years later. [1] The words were chosen to be accessible to speakers of English, French and Spanish. In the opening, you can hear the dispatcher (who was real-life LAPD dispatcher Shaaron Claridge) requesting reports on auto license plates, spelled out using the LAPD phonetic alphabet.
