I'll kindly ask you to refrain from instruction of a Centurion, considering you do not hold an equal or higher rank. Additionally, since you have elected not to participate in any Combatant Legion formations please do not interfere with their activities.

Thank you for your support.

Now, I champion the issue raised because it has merit.

We will have the responsiblity to educate most incoming youngsters on the 24 hour clock, I for one appreciate military time.

Historically, we evaluated this years ago when we had members in England and central Europe. The idea was to use Military time, etc.

What we eventually explored was ZULU time, so that we would operate by the same clock no matter where we where in the world, so by giving ZULU time everyone would be able to calculate the correct time, opposed to having to understand Pacific versus East, etc.

We never got that far, but it would be very cool to bring the clan into ZULU time and resolve this issue forever...

Military time I can translate. And uh...well...I guess I need some edumacation on what zulu time is. I've heard of it, but am clueless as to what it actually is...

what does zulu stand for?

"Zulu" is used in the military for the time is that which you might know as "GMT" (Greenwich Mean Time).

I started useing the 24hr clock due to a couple of posts that asked if that was AM or PM. I think the adoption of this clock would solve a lot of that. For me it is easy, in the medical field everything is in 24 hrs. For those that have problems with it - after noon, add the time to 12. Simple. 6 PM is 18:00 hrs.

The use of Zulu or GMT may be an acceptable use. As long as you know how to add or subtract it would be easy to use. What I would be afraid of is getting too complicated going to 24hrs (and the associated calculation for those that don't think that way) and mixing in Zulu time.

I may make a motion to ease things up and present the option that all posts, and times to use the 24hr clock. Also with this the times posted as Central time. If everyone uses 1 time zone, central being in the middle it should make it the easiest.

ill be there

When we had Euro members, it made sense. But it was tough, because of DST. So, here's how I posted things:

GL Evaluation, SCTF, quake.campquake.com (Closed session.) :

1900 Pacific
2000 Mountain
2100 Central
2200 Eastern

[At this point I would add 8 or 9 to the number for Zulu time, just in case my Centurions wanted to attend - and as Q2 folks, they didn't, LOL.]

But since no Euro members are currently being evaled or being called to practice tactics and strategy, GMT seems needless.

i should be able to attend both

I'll be at both.

heh, I like the title, Aide.
