Telling time in the Navy is on
the 24-hour system. Morning hours
are from one to twelve, but after
noon hours are from 1300 to 240#
(midnight). So if you ask a sailor
the time and he says "seventeen,”
subtract 12 and you get five
o'clock in the afternoon. It’s sim
pler if you ask him what cigarette
he smokes. Chances are he’ll say:
"Camel,” for Camel is the favor
ite cigarette among Navy men as
well as among men in the Army,
Marines, Coast Guard. (Based on
actual sales records from service
men's stores.) Local dealers are
featuring Camel cartons as gifts
for men in the service from the
folks back home.—Adv.
