Phonetic Alphabet

I saw this at the clinic I was working in on Friday – I suppose they use it for their dictations, but it was just interesting to me.  I heard most of these examples, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen them all in one place (probably because I’m not military).  Anyway – there are a few different phonetic alphabets, this is the on NATO uses:
