I'm aware this video is over a year old... but this is the most helpful and informative video I've watched about this. I know what military time is, and how to use it, but your video had so much more detail and easy little info snippets!! thank you Sir!
If your mental math is so sad that even subtracting 12 feels like too much work, just subtract 2. For example, 14-2 = 12 (2nd # in 12 = 2 PM) 18 - 2 = 16 (2nd # in 16 = 6 PM); 22 - 2 = 20 (2nd # in 20 = 10 PM); etc.
Also, think of it this way. Civilian time is smaller numbers (1-12). So you need to ADD 2 to convert to military time. And Military time is the larger numbers (1-24) so you need to SUBTRACT 2 to convert to civilian time.
I wouldn't say my mental health is sad, I just have trouble processing numbers. Been a problem all my life. The most basic of math fucks me up. 🤦🏾♀️ I have dyscalculia
Thank you for explaining this so simply! I started a new job and this is very helpful! Glad I watched and received a bonus with dates explained as well!
Thank you so much very informative. I appreciate it definitely well spoken. I’ll just have to rack my brain around the time but it will help me. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I learned to resd military time as a kid, 30 years ago (jeezus im getting old), but always "translated" the saying it part. Like 1745 I would say "5:45pm" mentally and verbally. Glad to finally learn it the right way after all these years.
If found that this helped me, hopefully it can help you too (civilians) :D 1800 military time. 18 years old (adult) = 6pm 2100 military time. 21 years old (beer) = 9pm
They lied to me at some local College so the recruiters could get a commission. I end up having to pay back all these loans when I could have became a EMT at any Community College and signed up for the FAFSA and the state fee waivers 😮 people just seem to be getting Dumber too and they don't realize that nobody wants people that only went to school online. I hope this message gets to the right person because we need more people in real life that aren't scared to do Hands-On things or talk to people.
I'm from the US and I've lived in Europe. That's how I learned the 24 hour system and in my opinion, the 24 hour system makes a lot more sense then the 12 hour system
One with month being first is weird tbh. It should go from shortest to longest period, so day, then month, then year. I personally like to write months with Roman digits, sadly it's would be difficult to implement in digital.
I wonder what would happen if I was in the military and my CO told me they would like to speak with me at 2030, and then I replied saying ‘then I will see you in eight years, sir!’
I learned military time (or commonly known as a 24-hour clock) when it comes to my cousin's phone and when I was in Grade 6 class to convert it to 12-hour time. Now I use it in my cellphone because continuing to use a 12-hour clock causes confusion about time and between AM and PM (The reason is: AM and PM symbols are no longer shown as modern phones are made) But in my country, I use a 12-hour clock verbally
I don't think you've ever made a video on rotc for the Air Force and I'm really interested in that it would be a huge help if you could make a video on itt I love these videos keep up the good work
Tip if it’s starts with a 0 ignore it unless it’s 0000 then that’s 12:00am If it’s if it starts with 1 or 2 unless it’s 1000 or 1100 or 1200 if it’s more than that minus 12 from the first two numbers (example 2200. 22 - 12 =10 then just add the minutes 2200 = 10:00) hope this helps some btw if you can have ur phone or watch set to 24 hour time and the other set as 12 hour time to try to get used to it
I just want to say thank you for helping me with this!!! I'm a lil confused about the ETA Mike thing. Where did Mike come from? What does it mean? I'm so confused. Was it a soldier at one point?
I know that you are extremely busy and all but I was wondering if you had any advice on taking the asavab I tried studying for it and I still fail I really want to get a good score and pass it it would be the best thing for me at this point in life I hope we can talk real soon .btw awesome videos I really appreciate it
They way the military writes dates is the same way Mexico does, idk if the rest of the world does it that way also. But it's not hard just write out from smallest time measurement to longest day month year. Simple. I use military time and I'm not in the military, I just wanted to use it.
Meanwhile I just set my phone to Military time just because I was curious, and now it’s been stuck with me for a long time, never changing back to Am/Pm
Hey buddy, I just wanted to bother you with this question: I just got a guaranteed position as an "Aerospace propulsion Apprentice." I already signed. I don't know if this was my best decision. Do you think I will still have time for studying? Is this a very hard and dirty job? Can I just went back and tell my recruiter that i changed my mind, and I just want "Fusion Analyst" or "Avionics." Thanks man, I just need some light on this matter. I will really appreciate some feedback.
Would have liked to see a bit more about pronunciation. The conversion is easy and I've got that. But it's the pronunciation that I lack since I'm not in the military and most often see times rather than hear them. So, for instance, 2045. Would that be pronounced "twenty fourty-five hours" or "twenty fourty-five hundred hours"?
I’ve changed my phone time to 24 hour clock to get used to it
jka 121 These things happen.
jka 121 I did the same.
same here
Me too man and is much better.
On my iPad and iPhone, I use 24 hour time. On my watch, I have it on military time (no colon, and a 0 before numbers less than 10).
I'm aware this video is over a year old... but this is the most helpful and informative video I've watched about this. I know what military time is, and how to use it, but your video had so much more detail and easy little info snippets!! thank you Sir!

If you practice it enough, you don't need to think about the subtraction. You just pull it off the top of your head.
@@michaelgr956 you dont say 18oclock you just say 6 oclock or 6 pm ..or 1800hrs

Thank you for explaining this so simply! I started a new job and this is very helpful! Glad I watched and received a bonus with dates explained as well!
You only really need to subtract 2, since 10 is involved; 16:00 - 2 = 4PM. Just take the number from the ones column for time after subtracting 2.
Thank you man this video was excellent!!!
Thank you, WildBlueYonder. I understood your version a whole lot easier.
European have it easy, ‘cause in europe the day is 24 so we just say its 18 o Clock and not 6 pm
Expect in the United Kingdom they use time like Americans so does Germany I believe
@@erichkaufmann5284 no Germans dont do that, only Uk
@@erichkaufmann5284 The official way of time in the UK is the 24 hour clock system. However in civilian life you change a little back and forth.
@@erichkaufmann5284 no we dont . We use the 24 hour click aka the time
@@1nikg But 7:00am in Military time, Is it 700 or 1900?
Thank you! This helped me out a lot!
That feeling when I realise that in US you dont know how 24h Clock works (I'm European)
I understand it, I was just trying to learn how to pronounce the times, (I'm canadian)
Thank you so much very informative. I appreciate it definitely well spoken. I’ll just have to rack my brain around the time but it will help me. Thanks.
thank you for this!! my boyfriend is in tech school for the air force currently, and i wanted i learn how to use this for his sake. much appreciated!

subtract 12 as soon as it hits 1300 ladies and gentleman the end. learn it before you leave for bmt !
Ziegz or you can substract 2 and get it right this way
13 - 2 = 11 (1pm)
Digit on the units place is ur answer
@Kyle Reyes basic military training?
@@SweetComputing so if the time was 1500 it's be 3pm? I'm sry I'm new to this, is that correct? Cause I'm still confused
Thank you for sharing this ⌚️🎉🎉
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I've only heard the exact hours, not the minutes
Thanks I am a AFJROTC cadet and I needed this
Great video. Headed to Bmt tomorrow wish me luck!
If found that this helped me, hopefully it can help you too (civilians) :D
1800 military time. 18 years old (adult) = 6pm
2100 military time. 21 years old (beer) = 9pm
i just go 12+? =
Just switched my phone to military time, great vid, helped a lot! Thank you sir!!!!

Great video, very well explained =)
Most written times in the UK are in 24 hours. So we are used to this. 18:00 - ''The Simpons'' is ingrained into generations of people.
really informative video thank you for making it easy to understand
thank you so much this helped tremendously
Anything past 12 is pm
Anything beyond 23:59 is am
Even if im not gonna be a solider im gonna learn this
No other video explains how to say the minutes so thank you really helpful
we use a 24 clock (digital) in the netherlands. and we use the “weird” date system
Yep
@Logan Lopez that’s what he said in the video i think. idk its been 4 months can’t remember
same for Italy
One with month being first is weird tbh. It should go from shortest to longest period, so day, then month, then year. I personally like to write months with Roman digits, sadly it's would be difficult to implement in digital.
Great explanation nice
or just add 12 to the time, 6 + 12 = 18:00
In Germany we always use „military time“.
Interesting that they call it that way in the US
In Brazil too
damn bro! you save my ass. thank you
For ten hundred hours, I was saying one thousand hundred hours, and I was like no way that's right. Had to look it up, haha
really explained it well thx man
I know it’s been a few years since you posted this video, but I want to add my thank you for posting this video!! 😊
Thanks!
Great info 👍
I wonder what would happen if I was in the military and my CO told me they would like to speak with me at 2030, and then I replied saying ‘then I will see you in eight years, sir!’
İ will try this
thank you this helped me learn 24 hour clock
Very helpful thank you 😊
I’m not a soldier. Thanks for your service though and the information.
Love the Maryland flag in the background.
easy way to remember is to add 2 and drop a 1 on regular time example 6:00 in military time is 18:00 or 6+2=8 then place a 1 it’s 18.

Very helpful, earned a sub
Easy bro! Im dutch we don't even get your "regular time" at school
legend, thanks
I was on the toilet searching military time...
God bless America
Very helpful, thanks
This is pretty good
I understand now, This tutorial helped😃
Thanks this was very helpful, I need military time to setup my new computerized telescope. That's how it has to be setup😊😊
Very useful!
I just want to say thank you for helping me with this!!! I'm a lil confused about the ETA Mike thing. Where did Mike come from? What does it mean? I'm so confused. Was it a soldier at one point?
Its just an easier and shorter way to say Minutes so it wastes less time

How are days of the week abbreviated in the military? (i.e., is thursday THU or something else?)
That’s how we usually tell time in Europe,at least in Germany.didn’t know you call it military time though
Most countries use this format as civil time, US are an exception as usual with measurements
It’s officially civil or 24 hour time, but in the US the people who use it most is military so most people call it military time
Great vid man :)
Wow, you made things so much earlier - Our youngest started Boot Camp back on May 9, 2023, Laughlin Air Force Base. How do you say midnight, 0000? 🇺🇸
Zero hundred
thank you so much
thank you bro

EXTREMELY HELPFUL THANK YOU! Only 1 question why say mike?
“Mike” is just the military way of staying “M”, example ABC, Alpha Bravo Charlie
Ive only ever seen military time since birth
My nation doesnt use anything but military time
My advice: stop trying to convert it back to 12 hour time. Just go by military time, if that's too complicated join the Marines.
in Åland, Finland we use 24 hour system :)
same for Italy and most of europe
@@lucabralia5125 Same for Brazil
can you explain a little bit more? I'm gonna be a CNA and wondered if I will use it for them
Great video bro, also in bmt do they go over this in a class or just in the book?
I think it's in the BMTSG
WildBlueYonder thank you
nice way of explaining it. you'll be a great teacher. lol.
you can also subtract 2 and take the first number off.... so 2100-2 =1900 take the 1 off its 900. thats easier for me
@keith 1900= 7pm. Just saying
+Bigbear400 yup thats assuming you subtract two again :p
That's what I like to do
thts how i do it
Now in the military the date is written year/month/date. It's supposed to be only 6 digits, for example 22 03 04
I used this to learn 12 hour clock
Meanwhile I just set my phone to Military time just because I was curious, and now it’s been stuck with me for a long time, never changing back to Am/Pm
A video that explains how say military time. Thank you.
i’m not going to the military but i want to understand military time 😫
I had to learn it bc Disney world post our schedules Ik military
I never realised this wasn’t used everywhere... like in the uk

Important: another way you’ll see dates done is (example) 20160616. Year month day.
We use this in europe

Quick question, can you wear your issued boots with civilian clothes? Like when you go out can I wear issued boots with blue jeans and a t shirt?
Yup!
you better stahp.
Would have liked to see a bit more about pronunciation. The conversion is easy and I've got that.

Would that be pronounced "twenty fourty-five hours" or "twenty fourty-five hundred hours"?
The first way: you (at least normally) only see "hundred" on the hour.
Do u say hundred hours after times such as 0845 like you do with times such as 1000 hundred hours when you pronounce it?
I don't think so.
