As best I remember, in my day, USMC & US Navy would have been "Oh Two 
Hundred", and "Sixteen Hundred."  Or maybe "Four Bells" and "Eight Bells" when 
at sea.

Is "hundred hours" used now?  Is that an Army thing?

As I remember, some agencies use 02:00Z w/o the word "hours" to coordinate 
world wide.

I wonder where and when "hours" came into use.

In military time, 2 oclock, other wise known as 14 hundred hours and 0200 
hundred hours, and 4 oclock other wise known as 16 hundred hours and 0400 
hours. In the am, 2 oclock is half of 4 oclock, in the pm, it is not.

Actually, 2 o'clock is only half of 4 o'clock under 'Coordinated
Universal Time', also known as 'Green Witch Mean  Time'.


Shouldn't that read "Mean Witch Green Time?"
