Navy Dad, Army Mom. (My mom DOES wear combat boots. Or did.)
Oh-dark-thirty. It’s usually for somewhere between four and five, with five being almost a smidge too late for oh-dark-thirty. Past midnight, because midnight is early, and occasionally as early as threeish. “What are you thinking, getting home at oh-dark-thirty?”
My daddy always said that he could have gone into the Air Force but he’d already BEEN to summer camp.

For those not in the know, the B-52 Strato-fortress bomber is also know as a “buff”. While some folks may think it’s a tribute to the camo color scheme, it’s actually based on the fact that a B-52 is one Big Ugly Fat Fucker!

I forgot one useful time: half-past. When we were at the cottage, my grandfather always used to tell us, “Now, don’t get up before half-past.” We didn’t.
Air Force vet here. Oh-Dark-Thirty and Oh-Dark-Hundred were used often. Never heard Zero-Dark-Thirty used – seems too hard to say.
