How Military Time Works
Military time uses a 4-digit number with no colon: the first two digits are the hour (00–23) and the last two are the minutes (00–59).
• 0000 = 12:00 AM (midnight)
• 0600 = 6:00 AM
• 1200 = 12:00 PM (noon)
• 1800 = 6:00 PM
• 2359 = 11:59 PM
To convert from military to 12-hour: if the hour is 0, use 12 AM; if it's 1–11, add AM; if it's 12, add PM; if it's 13–23, subtract 12 and add PM.
