T&T: USCG Radio Broadcasts

[Roger Bingham]

Not only the CG -

"Mornenladisangennelmen, thisescapnfrinkletrouser
anonbehafovschmuckleairlans adlaktowelcmyuabord."

The traditional announcement from the flight deck of most aircraft on which
I have flown.
I'm sure you can fill in the rest.

Familiarity and repetitive routines cause these professionals to be blasi
and far too casual with their radio/intercom procedures.
They may do it 10 times each day - for the poor wretch on a damaged, flooded
boat or with an unconscious crew member at their feet it may be a first time
and appropriate allowances must me made.

I'm sure the US military & CG have similar training but in the British Army
RSVP ruled

Rhythm - Speed - Volume - Pitch

Still works.
