How to convert military time
- 0000 to 1159 — morning. Drop any leading zero and add AM: 0730 = 7:30 AM. The one exception is 00xx, which is the 12 o'clock hour: 0015 = 12:15 AM.
- 1200 to 1259 — the noon hour: 1230 = 12:30 PM.
- 1300 to 2359 — afternoon and evening. Subtract 12 and add PM: 1845 = 6:45 PM.
To go the other way, add 12 to any PM hour except 12 PM, and turn 12 AM into 00.
How military time is spoken
Military time is written without a colon and spoken as two pairs of digits: 1430 is "fourteen thirty hours", 0600 is "zero six hundred hours" and 0905 is "zero nine zero five hours". 2400 is sometimes used for midnight at the end of a day, and is the same moment as 0000 the next day.
