Stop converting time in your head! See local, military, and UTC time (GMT and Zulu time zones) with a tap. Developed by pilots who can never remember the current UTC (GMT/Zulu) time conversion, Pilot Time instantly gives you the current time and date for your zone, plus UTC time. Pilot Time can: - Compare the time and date at your current location (in 12-hour format and 24-hour format) to UTC time. - Show the 3 time zones you looked at most recently, plus UTC time. - Quickly convert any past, current, or future time to or from any time zone (including GMT). And selecting time zones is easy: first find the continent, then the city you want. No more mental calculations. (The time is provided by your phone's operating system, not a central server. Time zones are taken from the IANA Time Zone Database.)

This mobile guide is designed as a tool for the users of the Army sustainment systems to use in order to optimize their interface with the communications system. Without the ability to communicate sustainment functions, even the fastest computer system becomes little more than a paperweight. Therefore the point of this app is to ensure that all Army automated sustainment information systems users have the information (e.g. technical and functional) they need.
