etcswjoe Posted February 4, 2011 Share #26 Posted February 4, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutKast Posted February 4, 2011 Share #27 Posted February 4, 2011 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted February 4, 2011 Share #29 Posted February 4, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
