How 1PM becomes 1300
1:00 PM in military time is 1300. It is an afternoon or evening time, so you add 12 to the hour: 1 plus 12 is 13. Then drop the colon and the PM, and you have 1300.
One in the afternoon — the first hour where you add 12, and the example nearly every military time explainer reaches for.
