How do I say military time out loud?
1730 is spoken "seventeen thirty"; 0800 is "zero eight hundred". Minutes are read as normal numbers.
Why do hospitals and the military use 24-hour time?
It removes AM/PM ambiguity — a medication order at 0600 cannot be confused with 6 PM, which matters in around-the-clock operations.
