Zulu time is the same as "Greenwich Mean Time" or GMT. Depending on the ship or units location on the planet, it will determine the amount of offset required. The most notable difference between regular and military time is the manner in which hours are expressed. Regular time uses numbers 1 to 12 to identify each of the 24 hours in a day. With military time, the hours are numbered from 00 to 23. Minutes and seconds are expressed exactly the same way with military and regular time. It is not necessary to change anything regarding minutes and second when one switches from military time to regular time and vice versa. Although the system is meant to eliminate confusion, it can sometimes be tough to adjust to. For example, an operation in Iraq may be planned and directed in Florida, with aircraft launched from Italy and the Persian Gulf. Because of this, the military uses Zulu Time as a base reference, and the phonetic alphabet to designate other military time zones. (Zulu Time is also known as Greenwich Mean Time and Universal Time.) Zulu Time is the time in Greenwich, England. The chart below shows Zulu Time in relation to other military time zones. If you look at our list of military time zones, you will notice that the letter J is missing. J Time, or Juliet Time, does not refer to a particular time zone but can be used to denote the local time of the person stating the time.
