Learn how to say the hours in military time.

If you're dealing with whole hours without any minutes, saying
them aloud is easy. If there's a zero as the first digit, then say the
first two digits as "Zero" and whatever number is next, followed
by "Hundred Hours." If there's a 1 or 2 as the first digit, then
say the first two numbers as a pair of numbers with a tens and
ones digit, followed by "Hundred Hours." Here's are some
examples:
 0100 hours is "Zero One Hundred Hours."
 0200 hours is "Zero Two Hundred Hours."
 0300 hours is "Zero Three Hundred Hours."
 1100 hours is "Eleven Hundred Hours."
 2300 hours is "Twenty Three Hundred Hours."

 Note that in the military, "Zero" is always used to signify
the zero digit in front of a number. "Oh" is used more
casually.

 Note that using "hours" is optional.
