>>Have you been in the military? First of all, your function does not work with real military time. Military time is NOT expressed as 13:30.... its expressed as 1330 hours. 2400 hours is midnight only and 0001 is 1 minute after midnight. Plugging these values into your function does not return the correct value. If you want it to be capable of handling the ':', you need to do some reworking.

yep, military time is expressed from 0001 - 2400. 0101 is 1:01 am.... Always zeros and always 4 digits without the colon.
