How to learn military time

military time is an easy way to express time all over the world. Military time is used by both military and civilian personnel all over the world, and it's a great way to make sure that everyone is on the same page when expressing how much time has passed or how much time remains. In this article, we will discuss how to learn and understand military time.

First, you need to know what military time looks like. Military time is written in a 24-hour clock format instead of a 12-hour format like regular clocks. This means that midnight is written as 0000 hours and 11:59 pm is written as 2359 hours. To determine the hour of any given time after midnight, simply subtract 12 from the first two numbers listed in the hours - for example, if it's 3:00 pm, then it would be written as 1500 hours (15-12 = 3). If it's 10:00 am, then it would be 1000 hours (10-12=0).

It may also be helpful to learn some military abbreviations for certain times of day. For instance, 0300 would be read as "O three hundred" for 3am and 1300 would be read as "Thirteen hundred" for 1pm. Additionally, noon and midnight are often abbreviated with a letter "Z" - so noon would be referred to as "Zulu" (1200) and midnight would be Zulu thirty (0000). It may also help to make a list of common times of day and their abbreviations so you can familiarize yourself with them more quickly.

Once you've got a handle on how to read military time, memorizing some key points when converting between military and standard times will help simplify things even further:

• Midnight will always have a "Z" or "Zulu" in front of it regardless of conversion type • Anytime after 12pm regular will add +12 when converted into military • Anytime before 12pm regular subtracts -12 when converted into military • The one exception to this rule is Noon which converts directly into 1200 Zulu
