What is 2300 military time?

Military time is a standardized method of measuring time in 24 hour increments. This means that 1:00 PM is written as 1300 rather than 1300 hrs, and means the same thing, but using 24 hour time. As such, 2300 military time means 11:00 PM, since it uses the same 24 hour pattern but without the "hours" designation.

Military time has been around for centuries, and has been used by the military, airlines and other professions which require precise times to be used. It is particularly useful in aviation and other businesses which routinely operate at night or on different shifts, as it eliminates confusion when discussing times across multiple time zones or between morning and evening shifts.

At 2300 military time it is 11 PM. This can be helpful when setting appointment reminders, noting events on a calendar or simply distinguishing between AM and PM times. It can also be useful for recreational activities such as planning a night out on the town with friends, family or co-workers who may be living in different states or countries — all noting the same exact time!

Although mainly used by military personnel, civilians such as hotel clerks/ front desk staffs also use this terminology when coordinating reservations for guests from various regions around the world. Additionally, many computer programs are designed for working in military time format for quicker calculations and faster processing of data.
