"Army Time" is the 24 hour clock, whereby 9:00 pm becomes 2100.

More often called 'military time'. Based on a 24 hr clock rather than a 12
hr clock.

1930 = 7:30pm

Some folks used to the military call a 24 hour display format Army time.

The OP probably wants to change it to 1-12 AM/PM format. In most cases he can
do that by right clicking on the toolbar clock to bring up the menu.

Ah, gotcha. Never heard it referred to as army or military time though... just
24 hour clock (which is pretty standard now I guess).

Cheers for indulging my curiosity!
