Tango Juliet Foxtrot: How did it all go wrong for British policing?

Product Information

Uniforms today are practical but make officers look like a bag of shite. Personal pride in looking smart both with the uniform and personal appearance have disappeared with most young officers. The Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Brothers" has Data rattle off a massively long command authorization code that includes "charlie," "tango" and "victor."

Oktoeight - generic Romance octo-, from Latin octō + NATO/ICAO eight (1959 ITU proposals octo and ait) Live A Live: In the Distant Future chapter in the remake, once Kirk and Kato leave the Cogito Ergo Sum to repair the Watanabe communication antennae note one of the many instances of the Watanabe Running Gag, with the child witnessing his father's death; in this instance, there are main and supporting antennae, with the latter capable of operating without the former, Kato says the code required to switch the antennae to maintenance mode in NATO Phonetic Alphabet, the code in question being "Whiskey alpha tango alpha november alpha bravo...". Before he could say the last letter, however, Kirk gets his oxygen supply cut off when repairing the main antenna and asphyxiates, and later dies in the medbay when his life support gets sabotaged. Although, in the book it mentioned that Couzens had slipped through the net, accepted by the Met and had worryingly been given a gun as part of the Diplomatic Protection Group, it failed to mention that he joined the Met as a transfer from Kent Police who had vetted him when they accepted him from the Civil and Nuclear Police who had vetted him and allowed him to carry a gun daily. It just shows that Couzens along with many others have easily bypassed a vetting system that is not fit for purpose. Where does the term "Bravo Zulu" originate?". 6 March 2005.

Footnotes

The author takes us through his journey through the police straight from Police Training School up to his last assignments. In the former you can tell that the author really felt a sense of pride in joining something that felt meaningful to him with an oath he still feels the power of. Also called a spelling alphabet or a phonetic alphabet, (not to be confused with the entirely different International Phonetic Alphabet, ) this is a system of assigning to each letter of the alphabet a word that begins with that letter. This way, if something has to be spelled over a radio, telephone, etc. there is much less chance of the wrong information being transmitted. The Cannonball Run. The Obstructive Bureaucrat trying to stop the illegal road race is watching the contestants at the start gate and getting the woman with his to write down the license plate numbers. He confuses her by using this trope for the numbers (she keeps writing down the word in full until he explains what it means). In the English version of Inazuma Eleven GO 2, the members of the villainous Protocol Omega teams are each named after a letter of the NATO alphabet. It's likely intended to emphasize their cold, military precision.

The military alphabet is often used in JAG. Hey, all the main characters are military officers, so why not? a b "General Radiocommunication Regulations and Additional Radiocommunication Regulations". Cairo: International Telecommunication Union. 1938 . Retrieved 30 January 2019.

Would it be too much to ask them to focus on proper crime? We now have the lowest ever level of judicial outcomes for crime, with a dismal seven per cent of all crime reported to the police resulting in a charge or caution. In 2012, a few months after the government announced the Leveson inquiry, two suspects in the racist killing of Stephen Lawrence in 1993 were convicted of his murder. The Macpherson inquiry of 1997 had examined police failures to investigate the crime properly at the time, attributing this to ‘institutional racism’. But Macpherson didn’t thoroughly investigate allegations t The combat medic specialist, or 68 Whiskey, provides emergency medical treatment at the point of injury on the battlefield and at every stage of the treatment process.

Instead of saying a word that starts with a “C” for instance, soldiers just say “Charlie”, and the actual meaning is implied. So Charlie Foxtrot is “Clusterf**k”, Alpha Charlie represents ass chewing in the sense of getting verbally reprimanded, and Whiskey Tango stands for white trash. What does tango mean in the Marines

Final Acts of WARC-79 (Geneva, 1979). [42] Here the alphabet was formally named "Phonetic Alphabet and Figure Code".I would happily support most of the author’s proposals for reform. The Police need to be properly funded. Political interference should be done away with along with the pointless Police & Crime Commissioner positions. The uniforms could use a bit more rationalising for the jobs that they do and the respect they are meant to invoke. I do not agree with him on the problem of “wokeness”. Frankly more Police Officers should be woke, but I would happily help him bin the class of political (with a small p) managers who care more about feathering their career nests than improving policing. The 43 different UK Police service structure is also a bit mad and probably should be made consolidated into regional commands that have interchangeability in terms of procedures, technology and equipment. I would give him ALL of this, but for the price of making it a hostile environment for the kind of genuine crooks in police uniforms that we have seen in headlines all too often in recent years. a b "FM 24-12,:Army Extract of Combined Operating Signals (CCBP 2-2)" (PDF).

The ICAO, NATO, and FAA use modifications of English digits as code words, with 3, 4, 5 and 9 being pronounced tree, fower (rhymes with lower), fife and niner. The digit 3 is specified as tree so that it is not pronounced sri; the long pronunciation of 4 (still found in some English dialects) keeps it somewhat distinct from for; 5 is pronounced with a second "f" because the normal pronunciation with a "v" is easily confused with "fire" (a command to shoot); and 9 has an extra syllable to keep it distinct from the German word nein "no". (Prior to 1956, three and five had been pronounced with the English consonants, but as two syllables.) This is a naval signal, conveyed by flaghoist or voice radio, meaning “well done”; it has also passed into the spoken and written vocabulary. It can be combined with the “negative” signal, spoken or written NEGAT, to say “NEGAT Bravo Zulu,” or “not well done.” What is a 35 Tango in the army? a b "Draft of Convention and Regulations, Washington, D.C., December, 1920". 1921.

The NATO alphabet was originally invented by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and was only later adapted by the NATO militaries. The author has had a varied career going from being a beat cop to working in Counter Terrorism, surveillance, Child Abuse Investigation and Intelligence Officer roles. It is perhaps quite fortunate for the reader that Iain Donnelly is someone who openly admits to not liking to stay in one place and rise to new challenges and skillsets. All of these roles came with logistical challenges, success but often emotional tolls. Perhaps the most sobering in the latter case was him recounting vividly the aftermath of deaths by suicide, an aspect of policing which many of us take for granted.

There are two IPA transcriptions of the letter names, from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN). Both authorities indicate that a non-rhotic pronunciation is standard. That of the ICAO, first published in 1950 and reprinted many times without correction (vd. the error in 'golf'), uses a large number of vowels. For instance, it has six low/central vowels: [ æ a aː ɑ ɑː ə]. The DIN consolidated all six into the single low-central vowel [a]. The DIN vowels are partly predictable, with [ ɪ ɛ ɔ] in closed syllables and [ i e/ ei̯ o] in open syllables apart from echo and sierra, which have [ɛ] as in English, German and Italian. The DIN also reduced the number of stressed syllables in bravo and x-ray, consistent with the ICAO English respellings of those words and with the NATO change of spelling of x-ray to xray so that people would know to pronounce it as a single word.
