Which one you use if u look up at time (clock, watch, etc..)?

If u are not sure, check the link.

For me, I like use Military time. Less confuse for me.
 
I prefer regluar time.. which we used to be...

Right now.. I must learn about Military Time because my older son attend Air Cadet Squadron every Wednesday. He kept saying "Military time when he tells me... likely "Mom, Look my timing isn't good time and Military time.. have to go Cadet now" I said.. Ugh.. what.. ?? He said.. never mind.. then say 630pm.. Whew.. Now I understand.. (rolls) Really hit me more confused about Regluar time btwn Military time. :shock: ~confused and wide open wonder'n wha..the?

Lasza.. u bring this issue topic really EXCELLENT start and let's disscuss..
 
most of the time, cuz of what I do, I use military or 24 hour time. I wish sidekick can show military time.
 
I use the civlilan time cuz of two reasons we don't have Daylight savings time and other reason, I spent several yrs in military time not need a repeat flashback on those times..... :-X
 
I'm very bad when it comes to time. Sometimes when I am asleep, I sometimes feel as if I slept so long that I missed my alarm. I check the time saying 1:00 and it makes me feel rushed and hurry. Then I realise I only slept 2 or 3 hours (1:00 am), not until 1:00 pm next day. So, I leave my alarm in military time and it makes it easier for me to discern the difference between 1:00 and 13:00.
 
I prefer ordinary time because I can never remember military time properly, such as what does 1500 hours mean... then I have to count... and think about it.... then I realise what it is, it's waaaayyy too much hassle for me.

If i was to spend life in a cave, or again aboard a navy ship, i would use military time. But due to the fact that i dont ever sleep for more then 10 hours at a time, and all clocks i have display am and pm, i currently have no use for military time. The only thing i have found useful was the dings the ship made on the hour, and on the half hour to let us know what time it was with sound, incase there was no clock around.
 
I use both civilian and military times for two reasons..

One-I use civilian time for everyday basis.
Two- I use military time for Ebay biddings.

My t moble cell made by motorola can display military time, the side kick should be able to do so too. Its under "inital setup" on my phone. If for whatever reason you cant find it, call 611 and ask the customer service people for help.

Just subtract 2 from the number if it's more than 1200 :) ie. 1500 is 3:00 PM Gotcha?

I like using military time cuz... um it's cool and I love military stuff ;)
 
i choose military time..

Because my work they use military time for the time clock, and it's easier to know if it's evening or morning..

normal time just confuse me a little bit.. suppose i live in alaska.. it's been dark druin winter almost 20 hours.. and summer it's been day for almost 20 hours.. military time is best...

Nope, not possible with sidekick....yet.
 
I use military time at all times except at home. Because of my work, I must study and know the military time off hand. UGH! :P But right now, I'm so used to it and I know the time immediately when I look at the military time. :) Indeed, I wish my pager can show the military time too, Prostock. :P Maybe in the near future. Never know. :thumb:

sidekick is made by Danger, Inc. not Motorola.
 
I use both -- but prefer civilian time because it always takes me a few minutes to work out Military time, :lol:
