Guys... The time is probably AM vs PM, exact 12 hour difference. I'd use a digital clock with an indicator though, but that's just me.

As a therapist, the clocks and other things are encouraged for young kids while a parent is deployed to help them adjust.

This is a lovely way for the kids to understand why daddy or mommy can't be there, and where they are at the moment.

This seems kind of weird honestly. But to each their own.

Not trying to be a dick, but doesn't this constantly remind the kids dad's still not here?

10 years ago | Likes 31 Dislikes 18

My dad was in the Navy and we loved doing things like this to remind us of him. We would send him crafts and videos all the time. It helps.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You shouldn't have been down voted for an honest question. Yes, it reminds them of his absence. It's healthy for them to know where he is.

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 1

Sure it does, but it keeps him part of their lives and that is important even if it is a bit sad. This way they are including him in life.

And this is why I use 24hr time whenever a device supports it. To hell with AM and PM. (Also fuck you daylight saving time.)

10 years ago | Likes 36 Dislikes 2

I say we standardize on 24 hour UTC with no time zones. Base 10 hours minutes and seconds would be icing on the cake.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

If that were to happen, "it happened at 1300" would mean vastly different things by longitude. Times would lose their meaning.

Zulu time is used as a universal time marker. It's so the worldwide military can coordinate. You just calculate your time zone when needed

zulu is UTC time. +000
