  • That’s interesting. Marine here and once when I was deployed and writing up “significant event” reports for briefs, the Watch Officer never wanted to say 0000. He thought it would be too confusing when looking back and trying to figure which day it actually was. Is 0000 on 20231023 Monday at midnight or Sunday at midnight? He had us use either 2359 or 0001 and the date to clarify. 0000 didn’t exist for him, but it might have just been his own personal pet peeve.

    This reminds me when I was active duty, I had an OIC that would always come up with ways to distract us from working. He wanted us to work, but also he got bored and wanted to talk about stuff. Most of the time it was an okay level of distraction, especially on deployments. It was mainly just annoying but most officers are so…

    He always liked to ask everyone about dinosaurs. Like if you could be a dinosaur, what type of dinosaur would you want to be? He also convinced one of the younger guys that there are probably dinosaurs still living in caves in the Earth and we just haven’t discovered them yet. I don’t miss working for some of the “time goblin” type people in the military that don’t let you get your work done.
