You're taking two entirely different things and implying they're the same - they are not. "Military time" is not a time zone - the military uses the time zone of the area of operations which they are active in. It is just a manner of displaying time, and is not one exclusive to the military - the term "military time" simply means that the use of the 24 hour clock is distinct, namely in a country which traditionally uses the 12 hour clock. Greenwich mean time is an actual time zone, and it's a bit pointless for medical facilities to use it when they're in an entirely different time zone.

Why is it cheaper to send space probes to planets rather than people?

What time is 14.30 time in military time?

1430 military time is 2:30 pm civilian time. The time zone is often added; 1430 EST, PST, or whatever is appropriate. Note that military (and European) time is based on a 24-hr clock, as opposed to the civilian 12-hour clock.


Where is the UST time zone?

Short answer: Greenwich, London, UK, kind of, assuming daylight savings time isn't in effect. Longer answer: UST Time is an unofficial synonym for UTC, Coordinated Universal Time. UTC is based on TAI, which is the average of hundreds of atomic clocks around the world. To get UTC they take TAI, and adjust it (using leap seconds) to keep it less than a second off of UT1. UT1 is the mean solar time above the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, which is located in the greater London metropolitan area in the United Kingdom. So, UST/UTC is a virtual time zone that's located no place, but for all intents and purposes is located in the Royal Observatory, since that's the time it most closely tracks. Since it's coordinated with a solar time, rather than local time, it's based on the movement of the earth and the sun, and is not affected by daylight savings time or any other political decisions that happen around time. This means that while UST/UTC is based on the solar time at the Greenwich Observatory, it might be an hour off of the clock at the pub closest to the Observatory, and your local time might change its relationship to UTC, often by an hour back and forth each year. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the old name for UTC.

What are common obstacles that keep soldiers from receiving mental health?

The most common obstacle to soldiers receiving proper mental health care is the stigma attached to mental illness. Other factors include the military's preference for medicating active duty personnel so they can be returned to duty rather than offering in-depth therapy and treatment and, for veterans, the lack of availability of facilities in many areas of the country.
