How military time is read

military time has been used by many militaries around the world for decades as a way to keep track of time more accurately. It's a unique way of counting the hours of the day, as it eliminates the potential for confusion between day and night, afternoon and morning. As a result, it can be read much easier and is often required when working in certain time-sensitive environments.

Military time is read differently than standard time, with hours ranging from 0000 to 2359. According to this system, 0000 (which is equivalent to midnight or 12 am) marks the beginning of each day while 2400 (which is Midnight or 12 pm) marks the end. So once you move beyond 2400, you start at 0001 again and follow the same pattern up to 2359 at the end of each day. This means that 12 pm would be written as 1200, 2 pm would be written as 1400 and 8 pm as 2000.

To make things even more straightforward, military time also uses 24-hour clocks instead of 12-hour ones so that there is no ambiguity about what part of the day people are referring to when they use the term "pm" or "am". There are no minutes or seconds associated with military time either - so when reading a specific time like 1345 for example, you just need to add an extra zero before reading it - 0145 in this case.

Another benefit of using military time is that it can make scheduling easier since each person involved knows exactly what hour they need to show up which reduces any potential confusion about what website or clock each person should be using in order to keep track accurately.
