Paul -

Ah HAH! Someone with real experience.

You mentioned 0800 hours as being Eight Bells. I understand that, but is that eight bells of the Forenoon Watch (which is just starting) or is that eight bells of the Morning Watch (which just ended)?

The general question is, does eight bells mark the end or the start of a watch?

Don't know why this is so important, but I just wanna know...

Thanks... For all of us wanna-bees.
