Step 1: Enter Civilian Hours

Step 2: Enter Minutes

• Input the minute part of the civilian time. This should be a number from 0 to 59.
• This field is also mandatory; you must provide a valid number for the conversion to work.

Step 3: Select AM/PM Period

• Select the appropriate period (AM or PM).
• Use the dropdown menu labeled “AM/PM” to choose whether your given time is in the morning (AM) or in the afternoon/evening (PM).
• This selection is crucial for accurate conversion, so make sure it aligns with the time you are converting.

Step 4: Obtain Military Time
