It is based on a 24 hour clock, and is a method of keeping hours in which the
day runs from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24 hour increments. It is
the most commonly used interval notation in the world.

HOW TO READ MILITARY TIME

When keeping hours in this fashion, the day starts at midnight and is written as
00:00. The last minute of the day is written as 23:59, or one minute before the
next midnight. Sometimes you may see 00:00 written as 24:00. Both are
acceptable.



A usage example showing  the 12 hour clock vs military time would be a time
table showing 4:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. This would be written as 16:00 – 24:00.
Another example highlighting the difference between the two would be to show
that 10:15 am is written as 10:15 in military time but 2:30 pm is written as
14:30.


THERE ARE ONLY TWO THINGS TO REMEMBER TO HELP YOU TELL MILITARY TIME:

The morning hours are the same. So 1:00 a.m. is the same in both military and
civilian time. This holds true all the way up to 12:59 p.m.

For everything after 12:59 p.m., just add 12 to the hours. For example, 2:00
p.m. becomes 14:00 (12+2=14), and 10:00 p.m. becomes 22:00 (10+12=22).

That’s it!

This method of keeping time is most commonly used by the military, government,
public transportation, hospitals, meteorologists, astronomers, those employed in
emergency services, and also with computers. When speaking in military time,
07:00 may be stated as “zero seven hundred” or “oh seven hundred”. Also, in the
military, these time stamps are often written without the colon, so 07:52 would
rather be written 0752.



Time stamps referencing Greenwich Mean Time (GMT for short – often interchanged
with Coordinated Universal Time/UTC) is denoted by a “Z” at the end, and is
written as 0752Z. The local time is denoted by a “J” at the end, and the eastern
time zone is denoted by an “R” at the end. Each of the zones have a
corresponding letter and name.
