The Art of Manliness Continued What the heck does "Zulu" mean? You've probably seen movies where combat pilots or officers in the command center say the military time and then add "Zulu" or "Z" at the end as in "The mission will begin at 1500 Zulu." Because military personnel can be involved in missions that cross time zones, they need a common time zone reference, so they know they're talking about the same thing."Zulu" or "Z" indicates that the time zone being referenced is Greenwich Mean Time (Coordinated Uni- versal Time), the time zone that regulates the world's clocks. There are other time zones that the military references, but Zulu is the most common. You'll likely never have to reference Zulu time as a civilian, but it's something cool to know when you're reading Tom Clancy novels. Alright, soldier. It's 2300 hours here in Oklahoma and it's time to turn in and begin the day tomorrow at 0630. Lesson over. Now go forth and never be flummoxed by military time again.> JOBS for TEAMS | 34 JobsForTeams0413_manliness.indd 3 www.jobsforteams.com 3/5/13 1:50 PM
