    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.

    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.
