That is correct. They call it "military" time in the US, because the
mil were the first ones to use it. Flight traffic uses it too. It *is*
the international time format actually.

Also, the "international" time itself is declared in hours +/- GMT.
That's Greenwich Mean Time, but Greenwich is not in USA. That's why
they call it UTC - Universal Time Coordinates.

Did you know that CST stands for China Standard Time over here, not
for Central Standard Time as in the US (there meaning Central US, of
course, and thus being valid for considerably fewer people)?
