[GreenKeys] Military Time -vs- UTC

[Sheldon Daitch]

________________________________

My experience when on my Army Reserve trips to Yokota AB is that many folks would try to use L for local time, which is an issue, as there is a very valid lima time zone.

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,
