    $\begingroup$ I'm not the downvoter, but maybe the downvoter doesn't like the fact that you just put 2 cryptograms into a puzzle, without a story or any hints to get a clue how (or with what cipher) to decrypt it. (Although I don't know yet if this puzzle is more of a cryptogram or a letter-sequence that hasn't got a decrypted text) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Apologies - I have been trying to find the best tags. I removed cryptogram and added letters. I think I have the right ones now. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 16, 2015 at 11:55
  • $\begingroup$ Is it the same rule for both strings or do they each have their own pattern? $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 16, 2015 at 12:02
  • $\begingroup$ @EngineerToast - There is only one pattern and both strings fit into it. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 16, 2015 at 12:14

The answer is

E

and

U

And the reason is ...

Each letter is the last letter of the NATO phonetic alphabet, in order. So we have alphA, bravO, charliE, deltA etc. The missing letters are for Mike and Zulu
