MILITARY TIME CHART
Military time, also called the 24-hour clock, is a timekeeping system that removes the need for AM and PM distinctions.
It divides the day into 24 hours, starting at midnight as 0000 and running continuously until 2359, just before the next midnight.
Key Features:
Usage:
It divides the day into 24 hours, starting at midnight as 0000 and running continuously until 2359, just before the next midnight.
Key Features:
- Midnight (end of a day) is 0000, notated as 2400 only for specific purposes like schedules.
- Times from 0000 to 1200 match standard AM times directly (e.g., 0800 = 8:00 AM).
- Times after 1200 convert to PM by subtracting 12 (e.g., 1500 = 3:00 PM).
Usage:
- Essential in military, medical, and other precision-required fields to avoid confusion.
- Presented as four digits without a colon (e.g., 0100 for 1:00 AM, 1300 for 1:00 PM).
- Time zones are identified using phonetic alphabet codes (e.g., "Zulu" for GMT).
