        Jesus does no one know 24hr time? No it is not it is the first hour…

        12:10 am = 00:10 in 24hr time…

          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.
