What 0600 means
0600 is 6:00 AM. Military time writes the hour and the minutes as four digits with no colon, so the 06 is the hour and the 00 is the minutes. The hour is below 12, so it is a morning time and the hour does not change — the leading zero is just padding to keep every time four digits long.
Six in the morning. Reveille on most installations, the traditional wake-up hour.
Saying 0600 out loud
You say “zero six hundred hours”. The word “hundred” is there because the minutes are zero; if it were 0630 you would say “zero six thirty hours” instead, and at 0605 it becomes “zero six oh five hours” — minutes below ten get an “oh”.
