A as in apple? B as in boy? C as in cat? Is this right? and can someone do the whole alphabet. I believe the military uses this and people use this when exchange letters/spelling on the phone. I know V as in Victor is correct.

It does not matter what word you use as long as it is a commonly spelled word.

Our naval man above gave the 'phonetic alphabet' but just to add my pennyworth, numbers also have a code: 1 - 4 as spoken, 5 = fife: 6 - 8 as spoken, 9 = niner.................
