Military time run on a clock of 24:00 hours.

00:30 means at 12:30 at AM, in the morning.

24:30 does not really make any sense, unless some how you may think it means in exactly 1 day and 30 minutes.


06:00 = 6:00 AM

09:00 = 9:00AM

13:00 = 1:00PM

20:00 = 8:00PM.

Essentially there is no AM or PM...Anything after 12:00 (noon) is pm.

In the military, you won't be understood if you use "24:30" vs "00:30"; regardless of the military around the world.

BTW: 24-hour time is not strictly military, its known as Universal Time, and the 24-hour clock is used just as commonly as the PM/AM system in America.

No, 2430 doesn't make sense. Theres only 24 hours in a day, so 2430 isn't possible.

there are some who use the 24 format but to be correct it should be 0030. The military day starts at midnight.

You can use it but you'll be corrected every time... 2430 doesn't exist

No, thats going off the clock, 2430 does not make any sense, It would always be 0030

No, nobody would know what you were talking about. Military time runs off of a 24-hour clock, not a 24+ hour clock.

Some people actually do but it's not the correct way to say it. 0030 everyone would know what you were saying.
