Well US military.

I believe it's short for Kilometer. Why does the US Millitary use the Metric system, and the rest of the country not? Kinda foolish, metric just makes sense.

a "klick" is slang for a kilometer

Its spelled "KLICK"

It is short for "Kilometer", the metric equivalent of about 0.8 miles.

KLICK = Kilometer correct, however 1K = 0.62 mile. I hope you're not in the military

**psyko514** · 02-27-2005, 02:49 PM

I hear it used occasionally here in Canada by civilians. My dad uses it a lot. Like others said, it's a kilometer.

**rickholio** · 02-27-2005, 03:01 PM

Yeah, I heard people in Vancouver and Victoria say it all the time... not quite so prevalent out east here, which is odd considering the big naval base in town. Perhaps they prefer to think in knots (nautical miles).

**Paul Welles** · 02-27-2005, 03:12 PM

Klick..yes it used in Canada ..also it is approx. .6 of a mile and not .8

to those in the usa - how far is a click?
