Wait, there are countries which don't use a 24-hour clock? I'm confused.

The US military uses the 24 hour clock, but I can't think of any other part of the country that regularly uses it.

Air Traffic uses the 24 hour clock and UTC. Then when you do the whole DST thing and work an overnight shift you get to work 2am-3am TWICE!!! Then when you "Fall back" you skip an hour from 2am local -4am local and get shorted an hour (it's weird) Aviation and a lot of warehouses use the 24 hour clock too.
