About Military Time Converter

Military time is the 24-hour clock written as four digits without a colon, so 3:30 PM is 1530. To convert from the 12-hour clock, this tool adds 12 to PM hours from 1 to 11, and turns 12 AM into 00; 12 PM stays 12. In the other direction, hours 13 to 23 have 12 subtracted and become PM. It accepts 15:30, 1530, and 3:30 PM, and shows all three formats.
