Owners wife?? So it was only hís pet? (Or only when the dog got in trouble? No its your dog, you are the one that always let him sit on the couch next to you.)
I've nothing to do with neither military nor law inforcement, and English is only my third language. I wanted to learn these when I was a teenager and still remember them. Being an all-around mom ;) I also taught these to my children when they were young. Here in Finland we call this 'Nato alphabet', but we naturally have our own version (mostly consisting of Finnish first names), too.
Working at an airport, I could name them all easily. Here in Germany, aviation (and probably the military) is the only environment in which I've heard it being used. In everyday life we use first names and other nouns to spell out words (e.g. O = Otto, N = North pole).
Never been in the military, but I've picked up some of these in various places. From WWE, I know Sierra Hotel India Echo Lima Delta. From the Bloodhound Gang I know Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo. From the TV show Dollhouse I knew random ones like Echo, Alpha, Whiskey, Victor, and one or two more.
It's where I think the most utility is for people unless they do radio work frequently, when they have to spell out 0cdf5967-73f5-40a3-b114-38fcc3e05abc for someone in a call center because it's what their new washing machine displayed on its screen as it died. You know, your model WT7400CW.AB0NSKRA2 washing machine, serial number W6lv28gkZb4TR5XNcIq1.
Am I the only one who thinks Golf and Mike could be improved for better clarity? I mean, I've never had to use these, but I can imagine on a fuzzy radio connection that those ending consonants just get lost. Two syllables would be better.
No words.......

Someone will get the reference.
I believe it's because otherwise the French would pronounce it as "Juli-eh".
