LA Time: A Quick Refresher
Before we get too deep into the military time madness, let’s quickly touch base on regular LA time. Los Angeles is in the Pacific Time Zone (PT). That means when it's 12 noon in New York, it's a chill 9 AM in LA. So, if you're an early bird on the East Coast, you might find yourself calling your LA friends at what they consider the crack of dawn.

Converting to Military Time: It's Not Rocket Science (But Close)
Okay, now for the fun part: military time. Think of it as a 24-hour clock instead of a 12-hour one. So, instead of 1 PM, it's 1300 hours. Midnight becomes 0000, and so on. Got it? Good.
QuickTip: Read with curiosity — ask ‘why’ often.
To convert regular LA time to military time, just follow these steps:
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.

- If it's before noon, the military time is the same as the regular time with a zero in front. For example, 9 AM becomes 0900.
- If it's after noon, add 12 to the hour and keep the minutes the same. So, 3 PM becomes 1500 (3 + 12 = 15).
Quick Tip: If you ever get confused, just remember that 1200 is noon and 2400 is midnight.
