what is 3:15 in military time?

When it comes to telling time, the world is divided into two distinct camps; those who use a 12-hour format and those who uses the 24-hour Military Time format. While most of us are familiar with the conventional 12-hours clock system, the military runs differently and uses a 24-hour clock system, also known as "Military Time" or "24 Hour Clock".

So if you're ever wondering what 3:15 would be in military time, it is quite easy to convert. All you need to do is add 12 hours (or 1200 in Military Time) to your conventional time. So, 3:15 PM in civilian time would be 1515 in Military Time. A quick tip to remember this conversion is that Noon and Midnight remain unaffected while forming the Military Time version — so, Noon and Midnight remain as 1200 hours respectively. This helps you save some effort while transcribing times in and out of Military Time format.

The term 'Military Time' is misleading because military personnel can actually form their own jargon when conveying the time and date around their world missions operations without adhering to conventional time calculations — but this strictly applies for internal usage and typically related only for Personnel Management purposes.
