What is 0205 in regular time?
2:05 AM. Hours below 1200 map straight across, so 0205 is simply 2:05 in the morning. Military time never uses a colon and never uses AM or PM, because the hour alone says which half of the day you mean.
How do you say 0205?
"zero two zero five". Minutes are read as a number after the hour, with no "hundred" and no "oh" before a two digit value. The leading zero is spoken as "zero", which is what distinguishes it from a twelve hour reading.
