What is military time? Military time uses a 24-hour clock from 0000 to 2359 to remove AM/PM ambiguity. How do I say times with 00 minutes? Say “Hundred Hours,” for example “Thirteen Hundred Hours” for 1300. What is 0000 and 2400? 0000 and 2400 both represent midnight; systems may prefer 0000 at the start of a day. How do I convert noon and midnight? 12:00 PM is 1200. 12:00 AM is 0000. Why use NATO phonetic digits? Phonetic digits improve clarity for radio or noisy environments by reducing misheard numbers.
