Military Time Converter: Convert Military Time to Standard Time

[malissacantu]

Neither Military time nor the 24-hour clock uses AM or PM in their displays. This is important because Military Time doesn’t use AM or PM to denote morning or afternoon. Military Time serves a direct purpose in clarifying time of day and time zone without possible confusion of AM or PM. In order to convert the time, we need to distinguish if the number is before or after midday. If the number is smaller than 1200, it’s the morning. Remember, Military Time will always have four digits, including the times early in morning like 7am which would be 0700 Hours. Nautical time zones are used by the military to ensure a standardization of time for the forces. Standard military orders would be delivered in Zulu time. Zulu time is the same as “Greenwich Mean Time” or GMT. Depending on the ship or units location on the planet, it will determine the amount of offset required. Here is a conversion chart converting regular time to military time and how you would read or say that military time. If you look at our list of military time zones, you will notice that the letter J is missing. J Time, or Juliet Time, does not refer to a particular time zone but can be used to denote the local time of the person stating the time.
