funnylutefisk Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 If you say RJ45 in the military alphabet it would be Romeo, Juliet, Fower, Fife I thought it was funny it has Romeo and Juliet in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I don't know who made that, but 4 is "four," not "fower" and 5 is "five," not "fife." It's what you get for trusting Geocities. Edit** FFS, they call their group "cum" http://www.geocities.com/WestHollywood/Vil...67/bi-laws.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lein Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I don't know who made that, but 4 is "four," not "fower" and 5 is "five," not "fife." It's not how the word is spelt but rather how it is pronounced, it's called a phonetic alphabet for a reason. Basically by pronouncing the numbers in that way you eliminate some of the possibility of them getting mistakenly misinterpreted over the radio. Possibly a good thing if you are in the military and don't want bombs/mortars dropped on you by friendlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never heard a comm with someone saying "fife" instead of "five." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have I. Usually drag out the -V-, so fiv-ve. But then again like you said geocities. Not somewhere I'd be getting accurate and trustworthy military info from.
