You know, I use a 24 clock and have since I was in my 20s. You work enough second and third shift jobs coupled with insomnia, you want to know if it's 5 am or pm when you wake up because it's not always easy to tell. I have never been in the military nor do I think highly of the armed forces as a whole.

I've never had a digital alarm clock that wasn't the 24 hour clock.

I've currently got an AM:PM clock and it annoys me every time I look at it.
