Do you use military time?

[@M]

I don't, but, the nurses at work do (i.e., they'll announce and schedule testing from 13:00-15:00 instead of 1-3 PM). I get that there's no confusion about whether the hour is AM or PM with that system, but, I prefer 12 hour cycles. I can use it if I have to, I just dislike it.

Similar to dealing with the nurses, it depends on who I'm talking to. Friends who served I'll use military time but personally I use AM or PM.

I do, even when I'm not in the military. I can talk to people in normal 12 hour time, but all of my clocks and watches are on 24 hour time because it's easier for me to read instantly.

 

[NeoSneth]

No. Unless everyone does it, it's really is unusual.
My teams struggle with time zones as it is.

 

[Burning Fight!!]

Yes

I use it almost exclusively as a lot of the systems I fuck around with all day only use it. At first it was a problem but now I actually prefer it.

 

[Neo_Mike_81]

No , because my dumb ass can't read Military time.

My dumb ass double posted shit.

I have to use it occasionally here in Japan, and it's annoying as fuck. Celsius? Fine. Kilograms? Cool. Military time? Go fuck yourself. Although at least we don't have stupid daylight savings.

I'm glad you've been able to adjust to a better way of measuring temperature and weight. One would think that to be much harder than counting the 24 hours in a day but oh well each to their own I guess.

Military time isn't difficult, I just don't like it. I'm not in the military, never wanted to be in the military, not a huge fan of any of the world's militaries.

What is even more interesting is the fact that it is not an invention of the military.

My buddy in college had his own time (12 hour format). When I met him, I figured he didn't bother to program his alarm clock. Then one day I saw his watch and it matched his alarm. It was something like 5 hours and 23 minutes ahead of normal time (or 6 hours and 37 minutes behind).

Edit: also he didn't change for DST.

That is interesting. Well, fuck it. I can count to 24. All by myself. Maybe I'll be less antagonistic toward those who use it.

 

[SouthtownKid]

unless they're in the military.

I have a few of my Casio F-91w watches set to military time just for a change of pace. I have to use it occasionally for international meetings, publishing platforms, etc.

 

[heihachi]

I use metric time. People look at you funny when say a meeting is at 6.2500 but they get used to it

 

[skate323k137]

I use 24h time for tech and IT admin stuff, preferably with the GMT offset noted. In my normal day to day life I just ise 12h time.

 

[Tripredacus]

Because I have to use it at work, I set all clocks I use to it if I can. It took be a few years to get the later hour conversions into memory. Still can't be bothered with UTC tho.

 

[NGT]

Only before 1pm.
