When I was a civilian, everyone called it military time, because only the US military used it.
When I joined the US military, they called it International Time, because the rest of the world used it and we were just meeting international standards so there’s no confusion with our global allies.
I call it “computer time” because I’m tired of people I’m talking with thinking its something to do with the military.
“UTC motherfucker! Do you speak it?!”
