What is the standard military time notation for 8:30 AM?

Military time uses a 24-hour clock. For morning hours, you keep the hour as a two-digit number with a leading zero, and you place the minutes as the last two digits. So 8:30 in the morning becomes 08:30, and in formats that omit the colon it’s written as 0830. The other options correspond to different times: 0800 is 8:00 AM, 1830 is 6:30 PM, and 2300 is 11:00 PM.
