This is based on a discussion my husband and I had yesterday. Mainly though, I want to send the spam way down the page! I'll update with my opinion and DH's at some point.

No, but I dated a guy when I was in the Air Force who washed out of morse code school. It was a still military career in the 80's, not sure if they still teach it. He instead became an HVAC technician, which was much more profitable for him when he got out.

Yes--my dad was a ham radio operator. He wanted all of us to learn Morse code, which didn't happen, but I think we all know SOS

DH does because he was a ham radio operator, but I never bothered to learn. My thought is that with modern technology there really isn't a need to know it. I do use the NATO Phonetic Alphabet all the time though because we have a last name that is difficult to spell.

Can't remember right now but I used to know what it is. I've read many books on surviving sailboat sinkings plus time in the Girl Scouts that I've learned how to do at least SOS in Morse Code. I'm going to Google it right now to see how close I am. Hold on. Well knock my socks off, I was right!

I answered yes, but for the life of me, I could not have told you why I knew it. Then other Peas started mentioning scouts. I do vaguely remember learning Morse code in Girl Scouts as part of earning some badge.

I said maybe, and apparently I would have been saying IOI and not SOS, lol. I do not remember Morse code being in the actual SOS commercials. (off to look for it on YouTube, now.)

I do because I *just* finished watching an "NCIS" episode that had it in it. lol Before that I would have to say no, although I'm sure I've known it off and on in the past.
