It's the Greenwich Mean Time - the time at 0 degrees longitude.

The will of the British to have a locality in England be the standard for time all over the world.

Greenwich Meridian Time. I am a horrible speller, but it is something like that. It is the time is is at that time zone. The exact opposite side of the world from the "international date line". It is considered to be the "unofficial" world time. Various eurocentric reasons why.

There is no way on God's great earth that a Marine does not what GMT stands for, absolutely no way in hell.

GMT is UTC come on man!!! You got all that Devildog crap all over your screen and you dont know your world time zones?

You dont know the time zone--the one the military uses when not on Local Time?

I was trying to find something cooler, but this thing (http://www.timeticker.com/main.htm) tells you what GMT -/+ you are with sound effects...

I mean the sound effects don't tell you, it just has sound effects...

Alright, it's not that cool, but I couldn't find what I was looking for...

I was going to say something like, "Just after lunchtime", but that was much better. :)
