Incidentally, that's almost certainly not "military" time, but "most of
the rest of the world" time (24-hour clock notation). They are difficult
to tell apart, but if it *truly* is military time, then try creating a
post at 00:00 or 24:00 - it will get rejected, as the military don't
allow anything to happen precisely at 00:00 or 24:00 because of the
potential confusion of which *day* it is happening on. It's very
embarrassing when half of your force turns up to the party on the wrong
day. Especially if all of the enemy turns up on time.

That's really interesting. So what does the military do in place of
00:00 or 24:00? Or do they just not plan for anything to occur at those
times.

(Reminds of a poem by Bertolt Brecht: "What if they gave a war and
nobody came?")

I've heard that they just don't plan anything at exactly those times.
Must be a good time to nip out for the sort of things that people nip
out for.

Leonard Grey,
23:59= 11:59 pm
24:00=midnight or 12:00 am
00:01=12:01 am

When I was in the service we never used 00:00 for a time designation.

Yes, but the problem is, is 24:00 at the end, or the beginning of the
day? Logically, I would say at the end, so one minute after 23:59 in the
same day. But if you tell someone to meet you at 24:00 on the 10th of
October, some people will be there at midnight tonight (the 9th); all
very confusing.
