Also, "WILCO" for "will comply" is often used. Other terms used are "Say again," "I say again," and "Wait One," meaning a short pause.Response by SFC Greg Bruorton made Jan 19 at 2018 9:51 AM2018-01-19T09:51:01-05:002018-01-19T09:51:01-05:00SPC David Willis3272692<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Only time Ive ever used it was when I was on internal comms with my buddy pretending to be a lonely trucker looking fer lot lizzards.Response by SPC David Willis made Jan 19 at 2018 9:53 AM2018-01-19T09:53:44-05:002018-01-19T09:53:44-05:00Sgt Tee Organ3272758<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Sure if you want a one on one with a First Sgt. Or in my case, a knot in the back of the head by a SSgt who overhears. Net protocols are essential when transmitting message and any language outside of that protocol constitutes broken transmissions due to the listener having to decide if the speaker is a legit source. If you're calling in a nine line and use any language outside of what is to be expected it will delay it or cancel it. This means a set of protocols will have to be in place to verify the source communicator to re establish the communication, which could mean that you have to restate the nine. In combat this could be critical, and should at least warrant a boot to the head from a platoon Sgt. Now if you're on commercial traffic and reporting the conditions of the barracks, that scrutiny isn't necessary but it's always a great practice to stay within the protocols. 10-4 is jargon mostly associated with the local security forces to mean what we use "affirmative." Stick with that and you'll be safe.Response by Sgt Tee Organ made Jan 19 at 2018 10:06 AM2018-01-19T10:06:09-05:002018-01-19T10:06:09-05:00LCpl Mike Zacher3273031<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Army thinks its a cb radioResponse by LCpl Mike Zacher made Jan 19 at 2018 11:09 AM2018-01-19T11:09:11-05:002018-01-19T11:09:11-05:00LCDR Private RallyPoint Member3273069<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Military police use 10-code. :-)Response by LCDR Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 19 at 2018 11:21 AM2018-01-19T11:21:15-05:002018-01-19T11:21:15-05:00SSG Edward Tilton3273240<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>There are even large city departments that don't.

So having a system of protocols helps to process the transmission within a set of established phonetics that leave very little to the imagination. Prime example is the phonetic alphabet used in military transition. It enhances communication and eliminates confusion. Anything outside of the protocol does the opposite.Response by Sgt Tee Organ made Jan 19 at 2018 12:36 PM2018-01-19T12:36:58-05:002018-01-19T12:36:58-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member3273384<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>no, its a civilian thing, the proper answer is ROGER - I have received your last transmission satisfactorily.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 19 at 2018 12:44 PM2018-01-19T12:44:27-05:002018-01-19T12:44:27-05:00SGM Bill Frazer3273501<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>OH MY GOD!!!

Military used classified codes "Q and Z" signals when communicating via "keyboard".. Computer... Voice was primarily phonic .. Also heavy use of "call signs".. There were other means.. Morse code.. and certain Classified ways to communicate... Best to you...
