Default Julian Dates

I'm afraid I have to with the responder about the Julian date calendar
being
added 5 years ago. I am in the military, and we deal with the Julian
calendar (dates) on a daily basis. The airline industry uses the Julian
calendar as well.


A calendar that expresses a date as a numbered day of the year (ordinal day)
is not the "Julian" date. The Julian date representing February 17, 2009 is
2,454,880. I don't believe for an instant that an airline would use that
value. Now, considering how confusing the government likes to be, perhaps
the military might, but I doubt it.
