How to convert to military time
From 1:00 AM to 12:59 PM, drop the colon and add a leading zero if needed: 7:05 AM becomes 0705 and 12:30 PM becomes 1230.
From 1:00 PM to 11:59 PM, add 12 to the hour: 2:30 PM becomes 1430 and 11:15 PM becomes 2315.
For the midnight hour, use 00: 12:00 AM is 0000 and 12:45 AM is 0045.
PM hour (1–11) + 12 = military hour
Going the other way, subtract 12 from any hour of 13 or more and add PM. Hours 00 to 11 are AM, with 00 read as 12 AM.
