Military Time Converter FAQ
Is 12am midnight or noon?
Midnight (00:00) — and 12pm is noon. The am/pm system’s worst design decision, responsible for a century of missed meetings; 24-hour notation exists largely because of it.
How do I say 24-hour times aloud?
Military style: 0730 is “oh-seven-thirty”, 1500 is “fifteen hundred”. Civilian 24-hour speech just reads the numbers. Either way, nobody books noon by accident.
