Frequently asked questions
How do I convert military time to regular time?
If the hour is 12 or less, keep it and add AM (0930 is 9:30 AM); 0000 becomes 12:00 AM. If the hour is 13 or more, subtract 12 and add PM (1730 is 5:30 PM). 1200 is 12:00 PM.
What is 1800 in regular time?
1800 is 6:00 PM. Subtract 12 from 18 to get 6, and because the original hour was 12 or more, it is PM.
