In the Military Time Zone Abbreviations, NATO, and Letter Time Zones, there is no Zone J (Juliet) time zone because it has been used to represent the observer's current local time.

It is also noted that Nataniel Bowditch left the letter "j" out of the system when he designed it due to there being no J in many of the languages of the time. The designations first appeared in "The American Practical Navigator", authored by Bowditch (late 1700s) to show the world that Americans could navigate too. The book is still used as a reference in several American Military Academies including those of the US Navy and Coast Guard.

The observer's current time zone now retains its normal designation, i.e. if the observer is in "a" he doesn't change it to "j", it remains "a".
