How to convert 0800 to standard time
Military times from 0100 to 1159 are morning times, so the conversion is easy: drop the leading zero, add a colon before the last two digits and write AM. 0800 → 8:00 → 8:00 AM.
Going the other way, any AM hour from 1 to 11 just gets a leading zero (if needed) and two zeros: 8 AM = 0800.
