I've noticed that US companies tend to avoid using the letter J. Anybody know why? You have Alfa companies, Charlie Companies, Fox Companies, etc. Never one with a J though.

Originally posted by Officer of EngineersWhy would you goto J? The largest battalion is 6 companies with one of those companies as the HQ. At a stretch, you might goto Golf but you will never get to Hotel, let alone India and Julliet.
1st Battalion: A-D
2nd Battaloin: E-H
3rd Battalion: I, K-M
Also, in WWII the US Army as a whole used a similar system, but never J.

The gunners seem to have named their bty with alphabets like P, Q, R. I wanted to be different I guess.
