USCG Helmsman Practice Exam 2025 – Complete Study Guide

Question: 1 / 400

If it is 3:00 PM, what is the military time format?

1500

To convert standard time to military time, you take the hour and, if it is in the PM, add 12 to it for any hour after 12 PM. At 3:00 PM, you simply add 12 to the hour (3 + 12), which results in 15. Therefore, the military time format for 3:00 PM is 1500. This follows the standard conventions of military time, where hours are represented on a 24-hour clock, eliminating any ambiguity between AM and PM.
