- dmd 1y agoI have photos showing that my dad (born 1949, never in the military) kept his watch on UTC in the early 70s.
- inopinatus 1y agoWould he by any chance refer to it as Zulu or Zebra time? The Z-suffix shorthand for UTC/GMT standardisation has nautical roots IIRC and the nomenclature was adopted in civil aviation also. I sometimes say Zulu time and my own dad, whose naval aspirations were crushed by poor eyesight, is amongst the few that don’t double-take.
