military time
No AM/PM needed
Military time is the system of telling time using a 24-hour clock rather than two 12-hour cycles with AM and PM.
Hours run from 0000 (midnight) through 2359, eliminating ambiguity: 1400 is 2:00 PM, 0800 is 8:00 AM.
We ship out at oh-six-hundred.
The term reflects its standard use in armed forces, aviation, and emergency services.
