I always liked 2000, as in year 2000.

I know that 2001 was technically the new Millennium because there wasn't a year 0. So Millennium 1 was 1 to 1000. 2nd Millennium started in 1001 and therefore the 3rd Millennium started in 2001. But like with a lot of other people, I went with year 2000.

Also interesting that old Army time doesn't recognise 00:00. Only 23:59 and 00:01. Apparently that minute is your own to do as you please.

Dunno what army you joined... but we in the British Army always used 00:00 for the most part, which was referred to as zero-hundred, twenty-four-hundred or just midnight.

Tuesday at zero hundred hours would be midnight Monday yes? Or twenty four hundred wednesday?
