When I did tech support I goddamned loved talking to vets because I was used to "Uh, that's A as in... apple, I guess, B as in, uh, um, boy..." Military folks know their NATO alphabet better than their real alphabet.
I did talk to one older vet who reminisced about how he named his dog Kilo in the 70s and how he hadn't heard the alphabet in years :)
