D-day, anniversaries and day counts
Use D-day mode when you have one target date, such as a trip, deadline, birthday or exam. The result shows D-10 before the date, D-Day on the date, and D+10 after it has passed.
Anniversary mode answers "today is the Nth day" and also shows upcoming 100-day, 1-year, 500-day, 1000-day and larger milestones. Date difference mode is better when you need the exact gap between two specific dates.
For military discharge estimates, enter the enlistment date and service length. The default 18-month setting is only a convenience preset; official service length can vary by country, branch, policy and personal situation.
