tips for the military alphabet?

Learning the alphabet only took me a day. All I did was make some flash cards and split them up into groups of 5 (the last group has 6 though.) Start with the first 5 letters of the alphabet. (A: Alpha, B: Bravo, C: Charlie, D:Delta, E: Echo.) Repeat them over in your head, or write them down a few times, which ever works best. Once you think you have those memorized, have a friend use the flashcards to quiz you on them. Then move onto the next set. Once you think you have those five memorized, have your friend use the flashcards and quiz you on those 10 letters. Keep doing this, but every time your friend uses the flashcards, make sure they do all the ones you've memorized, not just the group you finished with. I hope this wasn't to confusing. ;)

Break them into increments of five and study, memorize, and test yourself on the first five ranks of the services and first five letters of the alphabet. When you have THOSE down (take a few days on this and keep repeating them) move onto the next five and repeat, while including all the previous ones you've learned. Pretty soon you'll go over them enough times that it'll become second nature.

If you are particularly critical approximately finding out Arabic, become a member of a Military Intelligence unit that makes a speciality of Linguistics. You ought to be capable to take and move the DLAB (Defense Language Aptitude Battery) first, that is a made-up language that exams your capacity to be capable to gain knowledge of a overseas language. You ought to ranking a minimum of a one hundred on that scan to be regarded for Arabic. Then, it's situated at the demands of your Unit what language they're going to desire you to gain knowledge of, despite the fact that you could have a few say in it and Arabic is a most probably option.

After finishing the Military Intelligence direction, (that is five months lengthy), they're going to ship you to the Defense Language Institute within the lovely Monterey California. There, you are going to most often attend institution for a million 12 months to a 12 months and a part to gain knowledge of Arabic.

I've integrated a hyperlink underneath that offers you designated expertise approximately how the Arabic Program at DLI works as good as data at the DLAB.

It just takes lots of practice. You have to repeat it a bunch of times...it can be hard to learn a new thing...but in time you will be helping someone else learn.

I don't know of any memory aids. You just have to keep practicing it. Have your friends quiz you...

Hang in there. For me learning all the ratings was harder. I was Navy and there are a lot of enlisted rates....EM, BM, MM, MA, PN, YN, EN, AT, AC, PR, RP, DK, SK, MS....and even more. Each rate has a specific symbol and we had to learn all of that too.

If you aren't Navy be glad for that one...but you will have to learn a lot...You'll get through it.

one way to help remember it would to get 5 sheets of paper and write it down once on each sheet and it should be ingrained in your memory it works for other things too it can also help you memorize the chain of command and stuff like that.

you can try sayings or phrases that help you remember, like the first and fourth letters of the greek alphabet and the military alphabet are the same: alpha and delta. Z is zulu, like military time: 1300 zulu. Or a saying like Whiskey Tango Foxtrot (WTF!) or Alpha Mike Foxtrot (Adios, mother f-er's-Vietnam buddy taught me that one).
