Learn English – How are 24-hour (military) times read aloud

speechtime

I understand you read 2000 aloud as twenty hundred hours and 0000 as zero hours.

How then do you read 0001 and 0010?

Best Answer

  • 0001: zero zero zero one (hours)
  • 0010: zero zero ten (hours)

Sometimes, instead of zero, oh is used, although this is a more colloquial form. From what I have read, whether or not the "hours" part is pronounced depends on the branch of military; usually it is understood to be implicit and thus left out.
