It makes everything easier with no special calculations required. Hi RT,

What the heck is that? :mrgreen: I'm in Arizona, which doesn't observe it, and forget about the Philippines. I did deal with it, though, when I had to deal with national truckers. DST?

We recently merged with another company and they use GMT for everything while the old one used time zones. Time conversion hell in the database. Given the way things usually work in the military I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that the Navy was on one time zone, the Army on another and the Air Force on yet another. The Marines, of course, had the right time. :twisted: Hi Todd,

I have to get up earlier if I want to try to get on my company's Saturday morning conference calls. It was interesting when I was in Iraq last year. We used Daylight saving time. But, the day's weren't planned in advance (imagine that, lack of planning in Iraq). We found out that we had to push our clocks forward literally the day before it happened. :) Todd Hi Frank,
