Yes, I'm in favor of military time too. No more guessing AM or PM. That doesn't mean that everyone would have to work from 9-5 no matter where they were in the world. My California shift would instead of starting at 0800 would start at 1600 and I would work until 0000. The transistion would be hard, but once everyone used the same clock we would be better off.
You are an person I could call friend. One more test, are you sad we are not on the metric system here?
