There are some jobs where the time is displayed differently and it is not only being used in the military but increasingly being used in the civilain jobs that require the time to be more accurate. This is F.Y.I. and I will post 3 different ways to see the time. :)

 
Simple solution: add 12 hours. We use military time at Verizon. It's annoying as poo.

Yes Apathrev,

At the management level.

Their point of view is that it does make sense for example, the time is read like this in the hour mintune and seconds. You will come to be happy about the time being more accurate and not think of it as " poo " as you say.

13:57:21

No. Even supervisors think its BS.

That is because of the supervisor's attidute toward the military time and they do not see the value also, they are not used to seeing the time the way the military views the time with precision.

The big civilian corporations are increasingly seeing the good business sense in having a military time. You could print this out then cut to wallet size then take to the Office Depot to have it laminated and put in your wallet then when you are at work you will have it in the front in your pocket and you can familiarize yourself with the system of telling the military time. Hope this helps you have a positive attidute towards the military time. It is becoming commonplace in the workplace to see the military time displayed. :) :thumb:

Here is a workplace clock displaying the military time.

 
i think its bs. and i dont use it. i mean it would be just easier to say, 1 pm instead of 13 hundred hours.

Your opinion and you could get a good head start now on the military time. I posted it as FYI to help anothers do a better job at their workplaces. :) :thumb:
 
Here is another example I found and it is not displayed in the military time but here is a good example.

There are some workplaces that have a need of safety to be an absoulte.

Hey AJ,

That is okay but when you run with the big boys at the huge corporation firms. The big boys except you to know this stuff already by now.

This is F.Y.I.

A good help for everybody to be prepared to enter the workforce and also it is good stuff to know and you may find yourself coming back to look for the thread on the military time. I don't mind. :) :thumb:
 
Hi AJ,

I did remember something.

I have been to the beach to swim in the ocean before. The lifeguards on the beach use the military time.

That is one more place that does use the military time.

What if one of the girls who are one of the lifeguards teased you about the time and you have that look of deer caught frozen and can't move in the headlights.

The girl lifeguard and her buddies will laugh and walk away.

You go uh-oh and stammer and snap your fingers then close your eyes in an effort to come up with the answer.

Your mind is going 200 m.p.h. an hour as you open your eyes again , just to get the answer then you try to shout the answer but something stops you and no sound comes out.

I am trying to help you out here buddy, man !!! :slap: :) :thumb:
 
Sometimes my dad will say see ya at 10:00 or 13:00 or whatever, I had to figure out what it is.. He sometimes say "I work at 08:00, and I was oh ok then its 8am, duh me.... I know that cops use military jargon as well..

Hi Racheleggert,

You could print this out then cut to wallet size and laminate the card then throw the card in your purse and then the next time your father says something about the time then you can consult the chart on the card until you become more familiar with the military time. I hope this helps. :) :thumb:
 
I've been using a 24hr clock for years. Most of the jobs I work use a 24hr clock.
 
"Military time" is not required at upper levels. It's simply a matter of knowing what industry you're in. Very FEW U.S. industries require any knowledge of military time.

However, Heath, thank you for giving us a nice chart with the times. I know many deaf people are not good at math and can't even add 2+2 in their head, and this will help them. I personally just use the minus 12 math in my head, and instantly know what 1900 hours or 2100 hours means.



I would like to take this time to say that the "InstantSet Remote Control" clock is WORTHLESS. You have a remote that you only need "every 4 or 5 years." Good luck FINDING the remote in 4 or 5 years WITH any working batteries in it. People lose remotes that they use on a daily basis, let alone after sticking it somewhere never to be seen again after half a decade.

??? first of all, the lifeguards dont mingel with the people on the beach. there job is to watch everyone to make sure they aren't drowning. they aren't going to stop their important work to tease me about not knowing military time. second of all, im pretty sure the girls on the beach aren't going to tease me about some stupid thing like that. because u know, knowing military time isn't really the cool and popular thing to do
