Do you know military time?

[703 hwy]

Just curious, I didn't know so many people couldn't tell military time. Thought it was common knowledge.

 

[al audi]

i was a security guard when i was like 20, so yes.

an nah.........i wouldnt say its common knowledge

 

[jeenewed]

You just subtract 1200 for anything above 1300
If you don't know then just....wow

 

[kaycurrency]

yeah...Its pretty simple



Its just a 24 hour count instead of two 12 hour counts...

 

[supahoopa]

yea my parents are military
i jus figured out you take 2 away from the 2nd number

1300 = 1

1600 = 4

and jus memorized 2000 and 2100 and etc

 

[ruxxx]

Sure do.

 

[regal black]

yea, learned that %@%! way back

 

[mycoldyourdone]

yea in quebec they use 24h time. but easy to understand regardless.

minus 2 and common sense.

an educated person should

 

[Shanegerous]

Digital watch taught me this when I was like 10.

 

[mangudai954]

Yes my phone is set that way.

In the US it's not common knowledge. Most places it is though. But to answer your question, I can. For me I dont see it as military time its just a thing that all people should know (like the rest of the world).

 

[miamin2]

I know it, but I wouldn't say its common knowledge. One of my boys has all his stuff set to military, idk why. Hes from Spain nhe says that's how they do it over there..

Not to sound douche-like, but I swear this was taught in 4th grade...Besides, it's really not difficult to figure out.

 

[truballa101]

Word...just subtract 1200 if you see a weird number.

1300-1200= 1 pm
1700-1200= 5 pm
2300-1200= 11 pm.

That's how I always got it.

 

[Nawzlew]

If I see it, it'll take me a minute to get it.

gotta do the maths.

Nothing really... other than the fact that you dont have to say "am" or "pm"
