Most boomers would know what that is because very many boomers have served in the armed forces and they know the phonic alphabet. Those that have not served in law enforcement or the military most likely don;t know it.Boomer reply: WTF is that?but actually true...

Boomer here, not military, or police but I read it fine. Stupid boomers might miss it but those phonic clues are common.
You’ve all seen this one right?
Well I could easily read the quotation, but the signature seemed like more effort than I wanted to expend, then I saw it...
I've got Albert's hair style but not so much on the intelligence part.

When you were always criticized .....
He didn’t enjoy living at his father’s house — mainly because of the constant “nagging.”
“You’re leaving the fan on when you exit the room.”
“The TV’s on in the living room and no one is watching… Turn it off!”
“Close the door properly.”
“Don’t waste so much water.”
He didn’t like how his father bothered him with those “little things.”
He tolerated it… until one day he got a call for a job interview.
“As soon as I get this job, I’ll leave this city. I won’t have to hear my dad complain anymore,” he thought.
As he was leaving, his father gave him some advice:
“Answer every question with confidence. Even if you don’t know the answer, speak with certainty.”
And then… gave him more money than necessary for the interview.
When he arrived at the interview center, he noticed there was no security at the entrance.
The door was wide open—swinging outward and possibly disturbing people passing by.
He closed it gently and stepped inside.
On both sides of the path, he saw beautiful flowers, but the gardener had left the hose running.
Water was spilling everywhere.
He adjusted the hose and placed it where the plants actually needed watering.
There was no receptionist, but a note said:
“Interview upstairs.”
He walked up slowly…
The lights in the staircase were still on, even though it was 10 a.m.—probably since the night before.
He remembered his dad’s voice:
“Why are you leaving the room with the lights on?”
Annoyed, yet thoughtful, he looked for the switch… and turned them off.
Upstairs, in a large hall, many candidates were waiting.
As he stepped in, he noticed the Welcome doormat was upside down.
With a slight sigh, he fixed it.
Old habits die hard...
He saw the front seats were full while the ones in the back were empty.
Several fans were blowing over empty chairs.
Once again, his dad’s voice echoed in his mind:
“Why are the fans on where no one is sitting?”
He turned off the unnecessary fans and sat in the back.
Candidate after candidate entered and left through another door—nobody knew what was being asked.
Finally, it was his turn.
He walked in nervously.
The interviewer took his papers but didn’t even look at them.
He asked:
“When can you start?”
He froze.
“Wait… Is this a trick question? Or… is he really offering me the job?”
The interviewer noticed his hesitation and said:
“Wondering why we’re not asking questions? Because we don’t believe questions reveal a person’s true nature.
We believe in observing people’s actions.”
“We tested everyone through surveillance cameras. Only one person closed the door, fixed the hose, turned off the lights, straightened the doormat, and shut off the fans.”
“That person… was you. That’s why you’re hired.”
In that moment, he realized that everything his father had taught him made sense.
All the discipline he once resented… was what helped him get his first job.
The irritation vanished.
