12:30 PM. For hours from 1200 onward you subtract twelve: 12 minus 12 gives 12, so 1230 is 12:30 PM. 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 1230?
"twelve thirty". Minutes are read as a number after the hour, with no "hundred" and no "oh" before a two digit value.
