How military time works
Military time counts hours from 00 to 23, so there's no AM or PM. It's written as four digits with no colon: 0900 is 9:00 AM and 2100 is 9:00 PM. It's used by the armed forces, hospitals, airlines, police and fire services, and most of the world outside the US.

Questions
How do I convert military time to regular time?
For hours 13–23, subtract 12 and add PM: 1530 is 3:30 PM. For 0000–0059, add 12 and use AM: 0015 is 12:15 AM. 1200–1259 is PM; 0100–1159 is AM.
How do you say military time?
1400 is “fourteen hundred”, 0730 is “zero seven thirty”, and 0000 is “zero hundred” (midnight). Don't say “hours” in casual use.
Is midnight 0000 or 2400?
Both appear. 0000 marks the start of a day and 2400 the end of one, so 2400 Monday is the same moment as 0000 Tuesday. Most systems use 0000.
