Minor nit: it's "alfa", not "alpha"; the latter, if read when being taught
Voice Procedure, could be pronounced "alp-ha".
The NATO alphabet works for a reason, and English is a weird language.
OT aside: I saw a disgusting version, which went along the lines of "P as
in psychology" etc; your "C as in citrus" reminded me :-)

There is another tricky variant in which you can find "P for a
