Talk:1 Alpha 3

As Jugus pointed out on the 7 Charlie 40 talk page, I think it's likely that 1 Alpha 3 is an individual trooper, not a unit. Corporal Travis is designated 3 Charlie 6, as he is the sixth member of 3 Charlie. Perhaps the first number designates the trooper's company, the phonetic identifier designates his platoon, and the second number shows his position within the platoon. I'd say it's the same case with 1 Alpha 3. Does anyone agree? --&quot;Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.&quot; -Thomas Jefferson 20:02, 24 November 2010 (EST)


 * Yes, there are several such articles. For example: 7 Delta 19. There are also designations such as Oscar 18 and Delta 15. Should these be considered units or individuals? Noblelogo.png / / STRYKER    [  COM  |  LOG/M  |  LOG/S  |  AAU/HUM  ]  20:09, 24 November 2010 (EST)


 * Other examples of the number - phonetic designator - number system include 3 Echo 57 and 4 Charlie 27. I'm not sure whether to think Oscar 18 and Delta 15 are units or individuals, however. Let's see if anyone else has opinions. --&quot;Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have.&quot; -Thomas Jefferson 20:14, 24 November 2010 (EST)


 * Companies are designated in phonetics. 7 Delta 19 could be the nineteenth member of "7 Delta", which could mean it's D-company, 7th Battalion - the 7 is clearly not a platoon.-- Forerunner 10:08, 21 December 2010 (EST)


 * Yeah, Oscar 18 and Delta 15 seem to follow a different format than the others, or they just don't mention the first number for some reason. Also, it's odd how the two civilian transports, designated 6 Echo 2 and 7 Echo 3, have designations identical to those used to designate individual troopers. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 10:33, 21 December 2010 (EST)

I think 1 Alpha 3 is female (or a male with a VERY high pitched voice)
