JST can refer to two different things:
-
Japan Standard Time: This is the standard time zone in Japan, which is 9 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) . Japan does not observe daylight saving time.
-
Joint Services Transcript: This is a document that provides a description of military schooling and work history in civilian language. It serves as a counseling tool for academic and career counselors in advising service members and veterans. The JST is accepted by more than 2,300 colleges and universities, and can save time and money by awarding academic credits, which means less tuition to pay and less time spent in the classroom. It can also serve as an aid in preparing resumes and explaining military work experience to civilian employers.
It is important to note that these two things are unrelated and have different meanings.
