Default Another Time Zone Problem

Hello,

I'm in the U.S. Navy stationed on a ship. While floating around the oceans,
we extensively use a Calendar and Task List in the Public Folders.

All the appointments and meetings we set are for whatever time the ship is
using, or will be using. You see, as we float around going through one time
zone to the next, we are told when to change our clocks, and the computer
folks change the time zone settings through the server. This does not always
happen at an expected time. What I mean is, we may pass through to a new time
at 9 a.m., but they don't change our clocks until midnight. Or, we may pass
through a time zone a 9 a.m., but back into the old time zone at 3 p.m., and
they never change our clocks.

The point is, our time changing is not predictable. Missions and routes also
can change last minue, making it even less predictable. That is why we can't
use Outlook's multiple time zone feature to schedule appointments in their
intended time zone.

Does anyone have any advice for me? I hate waking up in the morning, logging
on to my computer, and seeing all my appointments screwed up.

Sincerely,
Matt
