On a side note, that is one of the best decorated stair landings I have ever seen...

Guys... The time is probably AM vs PM, exact 12 hour difference. I'd use a digital clock with an indicator though, but that's just me.
blckwhtout
Great post. As a member of the Armed Forces, this really resonates. So many people have no clue of the sacrifice of those that stay behind.
texanlostinrussia
This seems kind of weird honestly. But to each their own.
sunflower37
As a therapist, the clocks and other things are encouraged for young kids while a parent is deployed to help them adjust.
DevonSkinnyGeMane
I think daddy has another family.
UserSubRoughRider
From my experience this is missing daddy's replacement while he's gone
MetaphoricalFox
time until he plays with your nipple... again.
bellapadella
Oh wow a world map. Do these exist in US? Can anybody mail one to FOX news/CNN?
Yukonbumbleses
Now that's a great mom/wife/partner/guardian/grandparent/uncle or aunt/non Pokemon go player?
Yukonbumbleses
I didn't want to presume, but that's some great parents on both sides
TallDude
This is both sweet and sad.
theguywhoshouldnthaveInternet
That's too cool, would be hard for him to feel like you aren't excited for his return.
yousmaht
When he tells you he wants to exchange ideas, what he wants is to exchange fluids
eeeeeagle
Too close to home right now.
GiantButtHead
My dad is a sailor so I grew up with him missing most of the time. I turned out alright after all.
craychel
Same! He made all the times he was there awesome, so that's all I really remember. And making crafts with my mom to send to him.

SenorCulito
Yeah, but it fits this application. Comic sans was meant for Children's Parties, and Flyers for light hearted Activities like Arts and Craft
lookbuzzanalien
It's not Comic Sans. Awkward for you.
Altenauer
omg. You are right......my bad

I've seen this posted twice on Facebook. FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD
earthnumberseven
This is a lovely way for the kids to understand why daddy or mommy can't be there, and where they are at the moment.
trujello2013
Well this is sad/cute
leveretkeck
Excellent...!!
Dasin1
This makes me sad

This cute shit stops after a couple months. Then it's "__ Days until 'Uncle' Jody visits again."

+1 for the gloriously insensitive username. Awesome
imalonelygirlinalonelyworld
I snorted when i see the username. Im in a work meeting dammit. +1
theloneponderer
I concur. Who's he talking about, Lancel?
craychel
When I was younger we made a paper chain with a link for each day my dad was deployed, and each day we watched the chain get shorter
AlwaysSharkWeek
That's really adorable
realwomenfightnaked
If I did that with my husband id be adding on weeks randomly
namiasdf
That fucking sucks.
realwomenfightnaked
We are used to it, like if they say August 1st we know its going to be like October
stonemovies
Not trying to be a dick, but doesn't this constantly remind the kids dad's still not here?
UncivilCivilEngineer
Sure it does, but it keeps him part of their lives and that is important even if it is a bit sad. This way they are including him in life.
craychel
My dad was in the Navy and we loved doing things like this to remind us of him. We would send him crafts and videos all the time. It helps.
abullnamedferdinand
You shouldn't have been down voted for an honest question. Yes, it reminds them of his absence. It's healthy for them to know where he is.
zuppie13
No it shows them he is protecting their freedom, and will be coming home! Dick
stonemovies
You're right. Thanks for opening my eyes with blanket generalizations, impossible future predictions, & name-calling. I bet u vote 4 Trump.
zuppie13
hahah yes sir I will be forced too, being my civic duty! you liberals aren't any better ya know!
SublimeMacrocosmicMalevolence
I'd add impossible present day predictions to the list, too
preppypuppy
why do you need a separate clock for daddy when it's the same time?
GoodLuckWeAreAllCountingOnYou
Daddy's either 12-24 hours different or... I don't know... Time for a sandwich.
RogueMachinae
Could be at the moment the times are 12 hours apart, but wasnt before or could change later.
authornotavailable
Because he hasn't left yet maybe?
Deeztunafish
He is probably home.
Mgiggity
Plot twist: dad has severe shell shock...thinks he's Ethel Merman.

EVERYTHINGS COMIN UP ROOOOOOOSES!

Because a man's gotta have some time to himself?

Heeyy, that's pretty goood!
RoaldinThaHouse
I smell some idubzzz
NoughtPointOneFour
The time looks exactly the same tho?
nipplepanties
He ded?
farwall
Good news, Daddy's home!
Cruxador
Daddy came home today.
Woddee
What if, at the moment. Daddy's home....
SwarleysQuinntervention
Maybe he sleeps on the couch
HeyZeusChristoPornStar
National Guardsman deployed stateside
Upscaledmonkey
Thats because he's home when the picture was taken.
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
On my phone black means night, sooo
TheFreeMeaLLady
Daddy probably 12 hours ahead of them.. same like philippines and any other Eastern standard time zones in the US.
craychel
Daddy's deployment suggests he's in the military and goes overseas often. My dad deployed 7 times during my childhood. This is awesome!
LevainAvatar
Maybe hasn't left yet and they just built the setup?
tep4
call of duty man
ItsActuallyDavidNow
Nah, it's 24 hours ahead.
brknsoul
I just assumed that Daddy's home, considering no obvious kid-sized marking on the map.
WiTORWiTOuT
AM/PM
Bentarmbenny
Maybe he's home
geesefleece

maybe they sleep in different bedrooms

Lol
one2manyusernames
Hes at home now. But when at mission the times chanfe
revelator
Ch-ch-ch-ch-chanfes... Turn and face the stranfe.
one2manyusernames
you, I like you
metalharvester
Hes actually around the block
Francisart
Maybe he goes to more than one place on various deployments
busted88
Maybe he's home currently
sanandyfault
And there's no mail. He's probably about to leave and they just made that.
LessThanLucky
Because OP took this from Pinterest and JoMyGosh. Not OC
holdinitdown
He is home with everyone!!
UnicornEyeball
Maybe hasn't left yet?
GuessImUsingThisUsername
Would make sense as the map might be marked to the area of his deployment and as far as I can see it isn't make yet
PopeTart
Could be about deployment infosec. Not posting online destination. Even time difference on clocks could give clue to theatre.
xtsnx
yeah that was my thought too
corbynDallas
Maybe he's in the dog house
M2THE49
Maybe it's maybelline
FarcarBeach
You magnificent bastard
samwiseiscooler
He moves around to different stations, some might be stateside in the same timezone
benjamin9289
Maybe he's home right now.
delpharseven
And this is why I use 24hr time whenever a device supports it. To hell with AM and PM. (Also fuck you daylight saving time.)
ImSureIHaveAnAccount
I say we standardize on 24 hour UTC with no time zones. Base 10 hours minutes and seconds would be icing on the cake.
CuddleFlips
If that were to happen, "it happened at 1300" would mean vastly different things by longitude. Times would lose their meaning.
ImSureIHaveAnAccount
Okay?
delpharseven
While we're at it, let's fix the calendar. 13 months, 28 days each. No more figuring out what day of the week the 17th is, it is always 1/
delpharseven
Tuesday. But wait you say, that's only 364 days? New Years Day is a special day that lives outside of the months and weeks. Leap years 2/
delpharseven
have a double New Years. 3/3
TimTheEnchanter01
Op sec? Not wanting to reveal the location of a deployment.
BecauseIwasInverted
Haha +1 for op sec
cogs
OPSEC, and time zone without any other identifying info reveals nothing. There are active ops in every zone simultaneously. So, no.
TreyJohnson
Jeez, thank you.
darktempura
I alway have time to +1 to maintain op sec
ChaosGoddess
+1ing OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

Exactly 12 hours forward?

itsthevoiceman
24 hour clock seems practical here.
iamthisguy247
Perfect. She should call him and ask for winning lottery numbers, who's going to win games, etc and cash in on that.

"But why didnt china call america and warn them about the attacks like 3 million ppl died"
Xaldyn
But there's no difference on an analog clock...
jdis0351
If he's in afghanistan, parts of the country are exactly 12 hours ahead.
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
Depending on daylight savings.
IronGravyBoat
Except Afghanistan is a single time zone off set by 30 minutes from standard ones.
ardevas09
Or you could be in the stupid part that's 12:30 ahead... Fucking Afghanistan.
ThedarkPriestshaft
Used to call the family from tomorrow when I was deployed. Still have a watch set to Zulu time in my night stand.
jackswift7
Pardon the uninformed, I assume zulu time is time at home?
abrakadumbass
zulu is UTC time. +000
Hanisalive
Zulu time is used as a universal time marker. It's so the worldwide military can coordinate. You just calculate your time zone when needed
TezloK
Still, what's the fucking point of having 2 clocks then?
JesusHorsedickChrist
He probably moves around.
DarkerSavant
Yeah if you go from Germany to Iraq or Afghanistan. Significant time changes. But I will have to remember thus walk for the future.
TezloK
Please read previous comments...
NoSeriouslyJustTryIt
To help the kids understand.
TezloK
How would 2 clocks help the kids when they show the exact same time?
NuevoTejas
Could be 36hrs ahead ;)
baturro
Wait...what?
AZV4th
A day, and 12 hours.
baturro
Thank you, Capt. Obvious. On my planet, which is Earth, such a large time difference is impossible.
