The day begins at one minute after midnight (0001) and ends at midnight the same day (2400).
The hours from one in the morning until noon are numbered in four digits ( )

21. Converting Military to Civilian Time
The hours from one in the afternoon until midnight are derived by adding twelve hours to the civilian time. (e.g.. , 3:00pm + 12:00 = 1500).
