AM/PM and 24 hour

[walterbrunswick]

Okay. In Denmark we use the 24 hour system. But in the states you using AM/PM. And i just resently just learn what AM and PM stands for. But now somthing i dont understand. If the clock is 12:00 in 24 hour system. What is it in AM or PM is it 12AM or 00PM I dont see it

What does "in the states" mean? The U.S. military uses the 24-hour clock. Some police departments use the 24-hour clock. My aunt in Canada works at a hospital and they use the 24-hour clock. I use 24-hour time at my security job.

At 1200 hours it is 12:00 PM. At 0000 hours it is 12:00 AM.

EDIT: Actually using the 24-clock is rather quite commonplace in professions and the government, from the best of my knowledge. Everything from writing up receipts to reports to parking tickets.
