Learn how to write the hours from midnight until noon in
military time.

How to write the hours from midnight until noon in military
time, you just have to add a zero before the hour and two zeros
afterward. 1 a.m. is 0100 hours, 2 a.m. is 0200 hours, 3 a.m. is
0300 hours, and so on. When you reach the two digit numbers,
10 a.m. and 11 a.m., just write 1000 hours for ten a.m. and 1100
hours for 11 a.m. Here are a few more examples:
 4 a.m. is 0400 hours.
 5 a.m. is 0500 hours.
 6 a.m. is 0600 hours.
 7 a.m. is 0700 hours.
 8 a.m. is 0800 hours.

Things get a bit trickier as the hours ascend from noon until
midnight. In military time, you don't start a new twelve-hour
cycle after noon, but you continue to count beyond 1200 instead.
Therefore, 1 p.m. becomes 1300 hours, 2 p.m. becomes 1400
hours, 3 p.m. becomes 1500 hours, and so on. This continues
until midnight, when the clock resets. Here are a few more
examples:
