How would your friend know if you meant 9 am or 9 pm if you planned to meet up at 9? With military time, there is no ambiguity because 0900 means 9 in the morning, and 9 pm is 2100 hours. The use of military time helps avoid any misunderstandings between am and pm times. The 12-hour and 24-hour times are the same from midnight to noon. Converting time between military and standard formats can be a hassle, especially if you’re dealing with large amounts of data or need to convert times frequently. If that’s your situation, then OnTheClock’s time-tracking software can make the process much easier. Here are the steps you need to take to convert military to civilian time. After noon, instead of starting over with 1, military time continues chronologically, so that 1 p.m. The real fun starts after 12 noon when the 12-hour system jumps all the way back to 1 while the 24-hour system just keeps counting upward. In other words, for the period from 1 pm to 12 am, you have to subtract 12 to convert to the 12-hour format. Manually converting military time isn’t difficult but requires basic math. If you’re on the go and need a printable version of the military time calculator, you can download either of these. Military time is a US term used to describe a timekeeping method otherwise known as the 24-hour clock. The first American branch of the military to use a 24-hour clock was the United States Navy in 1920. Army wouldn’t use such methods until 1942 during World War II, continuing the trends seen with military forces getting on the same page due to the globalization of warfare. Of course, it’s much more practical to know an easy way to convert to military time rather than relying on a table as listed above.
