During the Viet War the US Military phonetic alphabet was Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Golf, etc. In WWII "Echo" was "Easy."

During the war, NVA transmitted over the radio was November Victor Alpha. VC was Victor Charlie. US personnel were Uniform Sierra, etc. Killed in action was Kilo India Alpha; Wounded in Action was Whiskey India Alpha.

Charlie, Chuck, Mr. Charles, etc. as long as someone could make out the letter "C" that was all that mattered. Of course during normal conversation (not on the radio) Chuck, Charlie, Sir Charles, etc. everyone knew it meant either Communists or Cong (Viet Cong).
