U.S. Coast Guard Boot Camp Practice Test

Which code word is used for the letter J?

Alpha Juliet Bravo Delta

Correct Answer:

Juliet

Explanation:

In the radio phonetic alphabet used for clear communication, each letter has a distinct code word to prevent confusion in noisy conditions. For the letter J, the code word is Juliet. Saying Juliet instead of just saying the letter J helps ensure that J isn’t mistaken for nearby letters when transmitted over the radio. For example, if you were spelling a word like JOG, you’d say Juliet Oscar Golf to spell it out clearly. That’s why Juliet is the correct choice for representing the letter J.
