How to convert 0615 to standard time

- Put a colon before the minutes and add AM: 6:15 AM.
How to say 0615
| Style | How it sounds |
|---|---|
| Military (spoken) | “zero six fifteen hours” |
| Radio, digit by digit | “zero six one five” |
| Civilian | “quarter past six in the morning” |
| Written 24-hour | 06:15 or 0615 |
Off the hour, say the hour pair and then the minutes: 06 → “zero six”, 15 → “fifteen.” Adding “hours” at the end is standard in military speech but optional elsewhere.
0615 Zulu (UTC) in US time zones
Military and aviation schedules give times in Zulu — Coordinated Universal Time — so that everyone works from one clock. When a message says 0615Z, this is the local time across the United States:
| Time zone | Standard time | Daylight time |
|---|---|---|
| Eastern (EST / EDT) | 1:15 AM — R | 2:15 AM — Q |
| Central (CST / CDT) | 12:15 AM — S | 1:15 AM — R |
| Mountain (MST / MDT) | 11:15 PM (previous day) — T | 12:15 AM — S |
| Pacific (PST / PDT) | 10:15 PM (previous day) — U | 11:15 PM (previous day) — T |
| Alaska (AKST / AKDT) | 9:15 PM (previous day) — V | 10:15 PM (previous day) — U |
| Hawaii (HST) | 8:15 PM (previous day) — W | No daylight time |
The letter after each time is that zone’s military time-zone letter: Eastern standard time is R (Romeo, UTC−5), so 0615Z is 0115R. Daylight time runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November; Hawaii and most of Arizona stay on standard time all year.

0615 in everyday use
- 0615 is early-shift territory. Many 12-hour shifts in hospitals and plants change over at 0700 and 1900, and 8-hour shifts often start at 0600 or 0700, so times like 0615 are common on rosters and badge records.
- Because the hour is below 10, the military form keeps a leading zero: 0615, never 615.
