Unneeded and confusing placement of phonetic alphabet #1

Closed mitchellmcmillan closed 10 years ago

mitchellmcmillan commented 10 years ago

when input()s have the phonetic alphabet in the string, it is very confusing because the phonetic alphabet is used to show certain specific things, eg what company the cadet is from (Alpha, bravo or charlie)

mattdbr commented 10 years ago

This is partially true, however in the AAFC sections, flights and squadrons are primarily numbered.

Over the radio net the phonetic alphabet is used and I was thinking that it would be easy therefore to request a variable that is directly used in the communication (by the COMMS Officer).

Do you have any suggestions for what they should be changed to, if they were changed.

Ah, I see. This must be a difference between Grammar cadets and... Everyone else :) maybe number them with word numbers? Eg one, two, three ?

If you can, go here to see the Defence Force Cadet's regulations on Radio Protocol and their labelling of radio reports.
