Military Time Conversion & How To Read

It may not be necessary if both parties are in the same time zone. Transitioning to military time can be confusing, but our Military Time Chart Templates make it easy to convert between standard and military time formats. These printable templates provide a comprehensive reference guide that displays the corresponding military time for each hour of the day. The most notable difference between regular and military time is the manner in which hours are expressed. Regular time uses numbers 1 to 12 to identify each of the 24 hours in a day. With military time, the hours are numbered from 00 to 23. Minutes and seconds are expressed exactly the same way with military and regular time. It is not necessary to change anything regarding minutes and second when one switches from military time to regular time and vice versa. The first two digits represent the number of hours and the later two represent the number of minutes, from 00 to 59. Just like a 12-hour digital clock, military time is always displayed in four digits.
