Minutes never convert — only the hour does. Any minute works the same way: 0307 is 3:07 AM, 0352 is 3:52 AM. For any other time, the military time converter takes both directions.

Where 0300 shows up

Three in the morning — deep night shift, and the classic hospital vitals round. If your schedule says 0300, you're on the crew the rest of the town never sees.
