The Alpha Bravo NATO Standard Phonetic Alphabet

When ever I use this phonetic alphabet I often get strange signs looks and questions. I don't know why since it has been an international standard of most of the "free world" for more than half a century, it was adopted in 1951. Remember I am not the weird one for using it and if you don't know it yet you are the weird ones, or do need another 50 years to learn it.
