They do in the Marine Corps >_>

To be fair, a pen in the USMC is a fucking inkstick. So.

But yea, 24 hour clock is vastly more efficient.

I can tell you from personal experience, that was purely a boot thing. After getting to the fleet, that shit disappeared fast. Never in my entire military career did I say or hear "at __00 hours". It was always just the first one or two numbers. And boots that called a pen and ink stick would immediately get clowned on. I'm sure there are plenty of units out there that aren't like mine were, but still I feel like I've seen the average Marine unit having been in San Diego and Okinawa.
