FAQ
What is 24-hour (military) time?
24-hour time, also called military time, numbers the hours of the day from 00 to 23 with no AM/PM label, so 15:00 always means 3 PM and never 3 AM. It is the standard used by the armed forces, hospitals, airlines and train schedules worldwide.
How do I convert 24-hour military time to 12-hour AM/PM format?
If the hour is greater than 12, subtract 12 and label it PM. If the hour equals 0, it becomes 12 AM (midnight). If the hour equals 12, it stays 12 PM (noon). Any other hour keeps its number and is labeled AM. For example, 19:30 becomes 7:30 PM, and 00:30 becomes 12:30 AM.
Is 13:00 AM or PM?
13:00 is 1:00 PM. Any 24-hour time of 13:00 or later is always PM, since it is past noon (12:00).
