I know I've mentioned it before - my plan for the A - Z Blogfest - but today is the day I actually tell you that the theme I've chosen is the phonetic alphabet, as taught to me by my ex who served as a Marine. I remember him teaching me the words at night, like a littany...Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Gulf, Hotel, India, Juliette, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, Yankee, Zulu. It may not look exciting at first glance, but hopefully, you'll learn some interesting stuff you might not have known.
And if you signed up for the fest let me know what your number is so I can look for you. If you didn't, well, sit back and relax and get some writing done while the rest of us crazy people try to do too much :)
Hmmmm ... very interesting, and I will bet you handled it very creatively!
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I'm taking a break for April (mostly) and won't be posting much. But I do plan to stop by other people's blogs. I can't go cold turkey!
Can't wait to see what the hell you are talking about but then I haven't had my coffee yet.
ReplyDelete*searching for coffee*
the phonetic alphabet is used to make sure people understand you. For example the letters 'F' and 'S' can sound remarkably alike over the phone or radio but if you say F as in Foxtrot and S as in Sierra then it's clear. Now go get your coffee!!!
DeleteThis should be interesting. Great topic. Thanks for sharing it, Marcy. Looking forward to your posts!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun! Good luck on A-Z. I'll be reading!
ReplyDeleteVery cool theme! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I'm writing about amateur radio, and my P post is "phonetic alphabet." (Although it almost seems like it oughta be the F post...) Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how you turn it into twenty-six posts. Looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting theme. I actually don't have one locked in place but I've decided that I'm okay with that.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your posts!

And as a former military brat, I'll know what you're talking about! Good theme.
ReplyDeleteForgive me if you've already said this in another post, but did you get all your posts done ahead of time, or are you doing it each day as you go?
ReplyDeleteThat is an interesting idea, yes. I'm just going to paint something for each day starting with the letter of the day.

Ok, that is cool. I don't have time to join but definitely going to be checking your posts out!
ReplyDeleteOooh I like the theme of your A-Zing!! One of my ex-work colleagues left to join the police full time and he was forever speaking to me in phonetic alphabet! Yay! take care

Ohhh, but I love it...and my Marine hub will as well. My theme's Louisiana. Hub had wanted me to do the USMC, but waaaay too detailed. See you around Blogville soon.
ReplyDeletecool! i always wanted to know them all!
ReplyDeleteI've recently learned the phonetic alphabet so it'll be interesting to see what you come up with :)
ReplyDeleteI think you'll find my MONDAY post amusing, considering the title of this post. :)
