Hi:

I would like to get the utc timestamp, 24-hr clock (military time), without the time zone suffix.  

Below commands were run nearly at the same time...

sqfdev=> select now()::timestamp(0)  ;
         now
---------------------
 2018-07-11 15:27:12
(1 row)

...then immediately...

sqfdev=> select now()::timestamp(0) at time zone 'utc' ;
        timezone
------------------------
 2018-07-11 11:27:12-04
(1 row)


15:27:12 makes sense (it's a bout 3:30 in the afternoon EST).
11:27:12 doesn't make sense.  UTC is 5 hours ahead.
 
Apparently it's only four hours ahead of your server's time zone setting. 

 
  I would have expected either 20:27 (if it stuck to military time, which I want), or 08:27 (P.M., non-military time)

And I want to get rid of the -04 suffix.  

Is there a way to do this ?

Specify an appropriate format string with the to_char function.
