      You’re still not correct. Here

      You are correct that 12:10 is 00:10, but that’s not what was said. I said 12am is the 24th hour.

      Plop in 24:00 into military, guess what you get? 12am my guy.

      I’ll explain why this is the case. 12am is marking the 12th hour of the evening, 12:01+ is counting into the first hour of the next morning. Same with 24th hour, 24:00 is the end of the 24th hour. There is no 24:01, it rolls around to 00:01 marking the first minute of the next day. 24:00 still exist though, it marks the massing of the last minute of the last hour of the day.

        What? The US military uses 24 for just one minute? Seems so unnecessary. Why would they do that?

        00:01:00  00:01:00
        00:01:01  00:01:01
        

        Really? Do they order custom clocks for this etc? Do they have custom settings on their computers to add that extra minute?

        Edit: It says in the time chart on the site you linked that 00:00 = 12 am. What are you on about?
