Military Time: 24 Hour Clock

Any given time of day is expressed in four digits. The day in military time begins at midnight with 0000, pronounced "zero hundred hours" or simply "zero hundred." Both digital wristwatches and 24-hour clocks are sources of military time. Many digital watches provide the option of displaying the time in either regular or military format. Switching back and forth is usually done by pressing a button labeled "12/24" or something similar several corporations manufacture 24-hour clocks. The "minutes" are read in the same way as standard time, except at the end you need to add an "hours". If the last two digits are 00, you add "hundred hours". There are four digits to be read as pairs on military time. The "hours" are the first two digits, while the "minutes" are the remaining two. Any "hours" under 10 is read with a "zero" in front. In less diplomatic cases, the "zero" can be replaced with "oh".
