What 1800 means
1800 is 6:00 PM. Military time writes the hour and the minutes as four digits with no colon, so the 18 is the hour and the 00 is the minutes. Because the hour is 13 or higher, subtract 12 to get the time on a normal clock: 18 minus 12 is 6, so it is 6:00 PM.

Saying 1800 out loud
You say “eighteen hundred hours”. The word “hundred” is there because the minutes are zero; if it were 1830 you would say “eighteen thirty hours” instead, and at 1805 it becomes “eighteen oh five hours” — minutes below ten get an “oh”.
