295 posts	it's from the phonetic alphabet that the US navy used up until 1954. the FAA now uses the more familiar "aplha, bravo, charlie..." phonetic alphabet that uses "Romeo' for the letter R

75 posts	here ya go from the horses mouth The word is also used in radio communications to indicate receipt of a message. From around 1938 it was the military phonetic for the letter "R" abbreviation for "Received," later replaced by "Romeo." In the old days of radio when Morse code was still used, radiomen used the letter "R", dot dash dot (di-dah-dit) as a quick way to transmit acknowledgement of transmissions or as a "yes." When voice radiotelephony was developed, the old radiomen stuck to the "R" as meaning yes. Since the phonetic alphabet for "R" then was Roger, the carryover was a natural logical development. It is still used today in military parlance to acknowledge the receipt of a command or orders, i.e. "Roger, returning to base" or "Roger, Wilco." With the widespread use of cell phones and SMS (short messaging services) or "text" messaging, Roger is slowly being replaced by "K" for OK outside of military use.

448 posts	dakondakeblade, that was totally not funyn at all. And davey wonder, in your explanation, you fail to mention why they choose the letter "R". They say roger because it startes with R which is for "recieved".
