Venomus explains it best. Think of it this way: subtract 12 from the time and then you have it. So 20 - 12 is 8 therefore it is 8:00.
To turn a time into military time add 12. 8:00 + 12 = 20... and that was the original time.

Think of the day as a 24 hour day... with 12:00:01 midnight plus 1 second being zero hour.... so 12 noon would be 12:00:00, 1pm would be 13:00:00 and so on... so 20:15:47 would be 8:15 and 47 seconds pm. This is how the military tells time so as not to confuse AM and PM hours when giving directions or instructions for any sort of military activity. Anything after 12 is an after NOON hour... 13, 14, 15, and so on through to 24:00:00..which would bring you back to midnight!

20:15:47 means:
20 = Hour = 8 pm
15 = Minute = 15 minutes
47 = Second = 47 seconds.
It reads = "Twenty hundred and fifteen minutes and forty seven seconds."
Or, it reads = It's fifteen minutes and 47 seconds after eight p.m."

8:15 pm and 47 seconds.
Here's how you can learn military time.
1:00 am = 0100
2:00 am = 0200
3:00 am = 0300
""
""
""
"" up to
11:00 am = 1100
12:00 pm (noon) =1200
1 pm =1300
2 pm =1400
3 " =1500
4 " =1600
5 " =1700
6 " =1800
7 " =1900
8 " =2000
9" =2100 (9:15 pm = 2115, 9:30 pm= 2130)
10" =2200
11 " =2300
12 am =0000
then it starts all over again
Some watches have 13, 14, 15 through 24 on the face of the watch and that is what it is for.
Have fun with it. In hospitals we also use military time.

thats military time. which is easy...
20:15:47 is 9:15 (47 seconds)
this is how it works...
12:00 is 12:00
13:00 is 1:00
14:00 is 2
15:00 is 3
16:00 is 4
17:00 is 5
18:00 is 6
19:00 is 7
20:00 is 9
after 12 would normally go to 1:00, in military time it just keeps going up. hope that made sense :]
