LJ, I tried to get the UFAF and USN to use TIM but they didn't seen to understand.
Smudge, Not great for the guy on the ground who doesn't get the Rolex.
Dom, I think you have answered the question.
If the USAF and USN don't use Tim, the Link 16 etc may be different, the guy on the ground may not even have a telephone, and finally, remember who owns Universal Coordinate Time since we no longer afford GMT.
And then there is Newfie time. I still remember the Ops Clerk at Goose Bay who brought the time check written out on a piece of paper.
As Easy Street points out eloquently, Tim is at least a standard check in UK. Just hope that other forces use it too.
