Punch0500 Military Time
0500 hours is 5:00 AM standard time — said out loud, “zero five hundred hours.” Before noon, the numbers match the regular clock: 0500 is simply 5:00 AM.
05:00–05:59 by the quarter hour
| Military | Standard |
|---|---|
| 0500 | 5:00 AM |
| 0515 | 5:15 AM |
| 0530 | 5:30 AM |
| 0545 | 5:45 AM |
Minutes never convert — only the hour does. Any minute works the same way: 0507 is 5:07 AM, 0552 is 5:52 AM. For any other time, the military time converter takes both directions.
Where 0500 shows up
Five in the morning, the openers' hour — first shuttle runs, gym opens, morning prep. 0500 reads as “five in the morning” with zero ambiguity, which is exactly why call sheets use it.
Common questions
What time is 0500 military time?
0500 hours is 5:00 AM standard time. Morning hours read the same on both clocks, so there's nothing to convert.
How do you say 0500 out loud?

Is 0500 AM or PM?
0500 is in the morning — any military time from 0000 through 1159 is AM.
