What Is Military Time?

Military time is a 24-hour clock system used to avoid confusion between AM and PM. Instead of repeating the numbers 1 through 12 twice each day, military time runs from 0000 at midnight through 2359 just before the next midnight.

For example, 1700 military time means 5:00 PM, while 0830 military time means 8:30 AM.

How to Read Military Time

For times from 0000 through 1159, the hour is the same as standard morning time. For times from 1200 through 2359, subtract 12 from the first two digits to find the standard PM hour.

  • 0800 = 8:00 AM
  • 1200 = 12:00 PM
  • 1430 = 2:30 PM
  • 1700 = 5:00 PM
  • 2130 = 9:30 PM
