Indeed it is.  And the other time zones all have their letters.  Going 
east from zulu you have alpha +1, bravo +2, and so on (the number is the 
number you add to zulu to get local).  Going west from zulu is november 
-1, oscar -2, until you get to romeo -5 (EST) and tango -7 (MST).

Naturally the labels are discontinuous at Z and M/Y, and the one they 
left out was J (if it were more regular than that it wouldn't be 
interesting to geeks, would it?)
