how do you write 1930 in military time?

Are you confused about how to read and write military time? While the 24-hour clock format is used to tell time in many countries, it doesn't come naturally to everyone. Here's how to read, write and calculate military time, including how to write 1930 hours in military time:

Military time is the same as standard civilian time; only it has been divided into 24-hours instead of 12. In other words, military time consists of a cycle of 24 one-hour increments that start at 0000 hours. Anytime after noon is greater than 1200.

For example, if it's 8:15 pm by civilian standards, then you would state 2000 15 (or 2015) in military time. To convert other times from civilian to military, simply add twelve hours and place a zero in front of any single-digit numbers. So 11:25 am becomes 1125 hours in military time – with no need for a colon or "p.m." designation.

To get back from military time to civilian standard time subtract 12 from any number greater than 1500 or entering "1200". For instance 2008 minus 1200 equals 8:08 pm -- with no need for a colon or "a.m." designation unless you are writing out the full form rather than using just numbers.

But let's say the question is 1930 hours in military format? That's an easy one – there's no need to subtract or add anything; simply state 1930 and you're done!
