Where does the expression "Roger that" come from ? It is also used in maritime communications to acknowledge communications.
Alan Doory, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
"Roger" was "phonetic" for "R" (received and understood". In radio communication, a "spelling alphabet" (often mistakenly called a "phonetic alphabet) is used to avoid confusion between similarly sounding letters. In the previously used US spelling alphabet, R was Roger, which in radio voice procedure means "Received". While in the current spelling alphabet (NATO), R is now Romeo, Roger has remained the response meaning "received" in radio voice procedure. In the US military, it is common to reply to another's assertion with "Roger that", meaning: "I agree".
Major David Null, Auxiliary USAF, Claremont, CA USA
In the RAF, the expression "Roger Willco" ("received, will cooperate") was used to acknowledge a request or order; It might still be, for all I know. I once had an idea for a television comedy series that followed the exploits of a roguish NCO called Sergeant Willco but was upstaged by Phil Silvers.

I was told during my Navy training that ROGER stands for Received Order Given, Expect Results.

Roger or Roger That does NOT mean "agreement". It just means the entire message was received. Wilco, as in WILL COMPLY was the old term for will comply. Wikipedia "roger that" or try websites that deals with radio or military terminology.
