Military Time Conversion
The main difference between regular and military time is how hours
are expressed. Regular time uses numbers 1 to 12 and a.m. and p.m. to
identify each of the 24 hours in a day. In military time, the hours are
numbered from 0000 to 2300.
Military time is based on a 24-hour day. Hours are numbered 0000
through 2300 and are recorded fi rst. The last two digits indicate the
minute after the hour. Military time does not exceed 2359 hours. For
example, midnight is recorded as 0000; one minute past midnight is
0001; 1 a.m. is 0100, 1 p.m. is 1300, and so on.
Regular and military time express minutes and seconds in exactly the
same way. When converting from regular to military time and vice versa,
the minutes and seconds do not change.
Regular time requires the use of a.m. and p.m. to clearly identify the time
of day. Since military time uses a unique two-digit number to identify
each of the 24 hours in a day, a.m. and p.m. are unnecessary.
The following table summarizes the relationship between regular and
military time.
