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!
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
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
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
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!’
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 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
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
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
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.
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?
Believe it or not. But the school I went to it was standard to know the 24hr time clock. We were taught how to use it in the 2nd grade. And so everyone I know tells time this way
Basically the easiest way to translate 24hr time to 12hr time it so take away 12. Hey mom what’s the time. 15:56. Take away 2. 3:56PM. Just forget about the 10 Same other way around. 2:30PM. Plus 2 and add 10. 14:30
How do you say midnight, which I assume is “0000”. Is it “zero zero hundred hours”? Or “zero hundred hours”? I feel like I have also heard people say “twenty-four hundred hours” but I’m not sure if that is in a military context, or some other context in which people use a 24 hour clock? I could be totally wrong about that last part, but I feel like it sounds familiar for some reason-more familiar than “zero 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).
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
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.

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 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!
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

That feeling when I realise that in US you dont know how 24h Clock works (I'm European)

Great video! I’m from Europe where all we ever use is the 24 hour system. For us AM/PM is extremely confusing.

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

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! I've only heard the exact hours, not the minutes
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+? =
Thank you, WildBlueYonder. I understood your version a whole lot easier.
Anything past 12 is pm
Anything beyond 23:59 is am
Thank you for sharing this ⌚️🎉🎉
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.
I just moved to a military town and this is sooo helpful! Tysm!
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
or just add 12 to the time, 6 + 12 = 18:00
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.
Ive only ever seen military time since birth
My nation doesnt use anything but military time
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.
Thank you man this video was excellent!!!
Thank you! This helped me out a lot!
In Germany we always use „military time“.
Interesting that they call it that way in the US
In Brazil too
Great video. Headed to Bmt tomorrow wish me luck!
Thank you so much!
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!’

This is pretty good
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
Very helpful thank you 😊
All I do is subract the number by 12

Interesting ETA segment!
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
really informative video thank you for making it easy to understand
I already know military time, why did i watch this?
thank you this helped me learn 24 hour clock
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
He did a JROTC video
Once it turns 13:00 (the pm time) just subtract 12, at least that’s how I do it :)
I agree but I use this method in which I subtract 2 to the pm time (ex 14:00 -2 = 12:00) then I remove the extra digit (12:00 - 2:00)
I didn’t realize that military time and dates is a lot like the French way of doing and saying it lol
Great info 👍
No other video explains how to say the minutes so thank you really helpful
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.
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.
in Åland, Finland we use 24 hour system :)
same for Italy and most of europe
@@lucabralia5125 Same for Brazil
We use this in europe
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
Thank you it's going to help me tell time on my friends phone and my phone. Again thank you for teaching me how to tell Military time.
Thank you very much for telling me this
Love the Maryland flag in the background.
Thank you from a geology major
I’ve been using it on my phone for years, I just want to know how to say them out loud
Same xD
Thanks Boss.
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
thank you so much this helped tremendously
I understand now, This tutorial helped😃
nice way of explaining it. you'll be a great teacher. lol.
damn bro! you save my ass. thank you
legend, thanks
Important: another way you’ll see dates done is (example) 20160616. Year month day.
I’m not a soldier. Thanks for your service though and the information.
Just switched my phone to military time, great vid, helped a lot! Thank you sir!!!!
I used this to learn 12 hour clock
The one no one says is 8:00 pm / 20:00 is that pronounced "twenty hundred"

EXTREMELY HELPFUL THANK YOU! Only 1 question why say mike?
“Mike” is just the military way of staying “M”, example ABC, Alpha Bravo Charlie
I am not a solder I am a freaking principle of health science student that my teacher made me learn about it without even explaining it
i have my phone on the 24 hour clock 🤘🏾
That's how I got used to it.

How are days of the week abbreviated in the military? (i.e., is thursday THU or something else?)
This was easier for me 1 PM is 13 count from 13 to 24 that’s the p.m. side a.m. side is basically just normal standard time
Maybe that easier I had learn Standard
Most tine if it’s like 17:52 it’s 5:52
thank you bro
really explained it well thx man
can you explain a little bit more? I'm gonna be a CNA and wondered if I will use it for them
The reason behind the date is because that's how the world outside the USA does it
I was on the toilet searching military time...
God bless America
