Speaking military time.
And 1000 would be spoken as
“ten hundred”
not “one thousand.” To say a time with minutes, you simply pronounce each number. For example: 0001 (12:01am): “zero zero zero one” 0215 (2:15am): “zero two fifteen”
“
Two zero hundred
” formally, “Twenty hundred” informally. But I would write it as 2000, not 20:00, so I guess I would be more likely to read the version with the colon as twenty hundred. Never “twenty hundred hours”!
