What 1000 means
1000 is 10:00 AM. Military time writes the hour and the minutes as four digits with no colon, so the 10 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.
Ten in the morning, the first hour of the day whose military form needs no leading zero.
Saying 1000 out loud
You say “ten hundred hours”. The word “hundred” is there because the minutes are zero; if it were 1030 you would say “ten thirty hours” instead, and at 1005 it becomes “ten oh five hours” — minutes below ten get an “oh”.
