On a "lighter" note ...

I want to flip this a little more. I spent my time in the Navy in Communications. We used Greenwich Mean Time so that every one in Navy Communications would be on the same time, no trying to figure out what time zone each ship was in.

 

Still Military time but everyone was in the same time zone.

 

BOO

 

PS: Do we want to get into the "Bell" system for telling time used on US Navy ships?

 

Seems like I always had the watch when we changed the clocks back an hour crossing the pond.

I think this is correct

 

1700 - "seventeen hundred" is easier and clearer than saying "seventeen zero zero". they do always say all four digits, so 0017 would be "zero, zero, seventeen"

 

1730 - "seventeen thirty"

 

04feb11 is "fourth of february 2011"

Good point, the military always puts the day first in the date.

To bad I was unable to pass the physical to get into the service. I did try.

I would have straightened them out........

I did end up working for a military contractor and got the military to change the way they did a few things.
