Yes we are and yes I do. I refuse to go back to a 12 hour clock. There are 24 hours in a day.

He was in the Army for over 30 years. That is outstanding. If you ask me its less confusing. If somebody tells you that they will meet you at 8 that can be either AM or PM. But you cannot confuse 0800 with 2000

Yeah, he was a lifer. Lived for it, and still thinks he is in the Army. He cracks me up cause he's like 75 years old and thinks he can kick the shit out of anyone. He was the one that taught me military time, and whenever I'm at his house, if I say 8 oclock and it's 8pm, I'll get a slap on the back of my head. LOL.

I've had a SLEW of relatives in the armed forces. Something like 85% of my uncles fought in all levels of the forces.
In fact, here is a link to one of my uncles:

His name is Roland Dumm in case the link doesn't go through.
