How military time works

Military time numbers the hours of the day from 00 to 23 and writes the time as four digits with no colon and no AM or PM. The first two digits are the hour, the last two are the minutes.

PM hours 1 to 11: add 12 (6:30 PM = 1830)
Hours 13 to 23: subtract 12, add PM (1945 = 7:45 PM)

Two hours break the pattern. 12:00 PM, noon, is 1200 with nothing added. 12:00 AM, midnight, is 0000. Times on your time card can be typed in 24-hour form too.
