Ah, OK.

I don't think going UTC would work out.  People are too funny about
that.

Even in the military a lot of people refuse to use zulu time.

Personally, I think that is a disaster waiting to happen.  A friend of
mine works in military communications and computer systems, and even
aboard ships and at Air Farce bases he has to set computers up for local
time.

My thinking is that in a war, none of these desktop warriors will be
used to dealing in military time, and it will cause a lot of confusion.
