Military time uses a 24 hour clock rather than a 12 hour clock with 12 for the first half of the day and 12 for the second half of the day. It acually is much less confusing once you get use to it. When converting from a 24 hour a day clock back to a 12 hour a day clock all you have to do for any time over 12:59 is subtract "12" and add the P.M. (Post Meridian). And for times listed as 00:01 through 00:59 add 12 hours.
So for instance:
12:00 = 12:00 Noon
12:01 = 12:01 P.M.
13:00 = 1:00 P.M.
14:25 = 2:25 P.M.
00:45 = 12:45 A.M.
23:59 = 11:59 P.M.
24:00 = 12:00 Midnight
00:01 = 12:01 A.M.
When using a 12 hour clock it is also advisable to avoid attempting to assign A.M. and P.M. to the 12:00 hours and there is actually debate over which is actually which. It is much clearer to identify them as Noon and Midnight.
By the way, I know that I did not answer your specific question related to specific times. I am hoping the information above gives you what you need to be able to subtract 12 yourself and then add the P.M.. I enjoy helping but believe that it is better to give you what you need to know to be able to come up with the answer yourself rather than just giving you the answer. That way you possibly learn something rather than just copying down what someone else came up with. Also that way you can prove the answer for yourself rather than just believing what others are telling you.
Best of Luck
