It would be funny if I didn't write the date as 14/3. Like most out there except in the US. Bah.

Is it true in the US Navy they actually go by the proper way of writing dates? day/month/year??

That way makes WAY more sense - smaller time units

I suppose we can expect a lot of sniggering on the 9th of June?

Oh let me drag this wildly off topic by commenting that at this one troll/sports forum I used to visit once in a while, they actually had the word "sniggering" in the word censor. It was really bizarre.

Yes. Today would be written as 14March05. As for a date time group: 141103R MAR. R (Romeo) representing the time zone. Official military reports would be in Z (Zulu) 141603Z MAR.

A cluttered map, but you get the idea.

Odd. I work for a military contractor, and we've been told to write our dates as YY-MM-DD in order to keep our documents in line with the military.

Yeah, but there is no 31st of April, or 3rd day of the 14th month. And, even if there were, they wouldn't also happen to be Albert Einstein's birthday. So, basically, sucks to your dating system.

(For the record, I write dates in the form 14. Mar. 2005. It avoids any possibility of confusion, but, boy, does it drive some people crazy. I don't get that.)
