Military time and the 24-hour clock

Military time is the 24-hour clock written without a colon, always with four digits. Most of the world uses the 24-hour clock every day, written 14:30 in most places. In the US it’s mainly used by the armed forces, hospitals, police and fire services, and in aviation, where an AM and PM mix-up could be dangerous. Hours run from 00 to 23 and minutes from 00 to 59, so each time of day is written one way, except that midnight can be 0000 or 2400.
