[GreenKeys] Military Time -vs- UTC

[Dave F via GreenKeys]

Dave:
 
The "J" time zone is used to allow the time-observer to use his  "local" 
time from
wherever he is currently located at the time he wants to tell  time.
 
Originally, the "J" time zone was skipped on purpose because it  resembled 
the "I"
too much in the alphabets. LIkewise, there was no Cyrillic  (Russian) 
equivalent
for the letter "J", so that letter and a referenced time zone was  dropped 
or omitted
in years past. Being retired now, I am not sure what they are doing  now or 
if the "J" time
zone has been restored.
 
Hope this helps too,

Is  that right?  It's riddled with Javascript, but if you lop off the  
leading "http" etc it works better.

My understanding was that Alfa-Zulu refer only  to timezones, and where did 
Juliet time go?  This will  distress the people in Central Australia etc...
