Not to be a stickler here, but the question is what is the complete "NATO" phonetic Alphabet. It ISN'T what do the Americans use?

If you look it up in "The Warrior's Handbook" from the Canadian Armed Forces, or the "Basic Recruit Manual" in the British Armed Forces or the "Basic Training" Manual from the Australian Defence Force, you'll find that the actual NATO usage is "Mama" not "Mike".

At least, THIS is the information that Canada, The United Kingdom and Australia is giving its troopers. All NATO countries. While the US is, of course, a NATO country, lets face it, it's quite likely that the US *IS* using "Mike" as the "M", because, well, not many organizations tell the Americans how to say things!
