How do you convert standard AM & PM times to military time?

Answer 27

12:00 AM starts at 0000 or 2400. From 12:00 AM to 12:59 PM are the same numbers. So 12:00 AM to 12:59 PM = 0000 to 1259 To convert times from 1:00 PM - 11:59 PM to military time. Just simply add 12. For example: 1: 00 PM + 12 = 1300 4: 54 PM + 12 = 1654 *Note: The use for a colon is not necessary in military time; however sometimes military time can be expressed with a colon.
