If pfsense has a proper (or somewhat reasonable) ntp running,
instead of using tick.usno.navy.mil in your cron job, set use this
server (tick.usno.navy.mil) as the ntp time server in System General
Setup in the GUI (at least in the embedded version it is located there).
You *may* have to run ntpdate from the command line one time only.
NTP won't correct if your clock is off by more than +-500 ppm -- which
may be the case for you. Perhaps the clock speed is set wrong.

i did the command you said ntpdate pool.ntp.org. and yes it sets
the time, but it doesn't stay. for long.
computer kept near perfect time before under different o/s. this
seems real strange.

Have you run:
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
from the command line?

right now it is running about 10 minutes fast. i set it to
chicago about 30 minutes ago... and time still moves on a head.
am i missing something?
is there some way of telling the time? what i have been doing is
getting a command prompt on the machine and doing date. also i've
caused a event to log -- and looked at the entry in the look --
ie: pass traffic to a server that the firewall will not let me
do: ie: tcp port 40.

What timezone are you in? If CST try Chicago instead of GMT -6.
