What is 1530 in regular time?
3:30 PM. For hours from 1200 onward you subtract twelve: 15 minus 12 gives 3, so 1530 is 3:30 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 1530?
"fifteen thirty". Minutes are read as a number after the hour, with no "hundred" and no "oh" before a two digit value.
