Hi sheris

I'm not sure what you mean by "army time", but am guessing you mean a
24-hour clock? If so:

Go to Control Panel | Regional and Language Options. On the Regional
Options tab click Customize and another window will open. Click on the
Time tab there and you'll see examples of how to change your time
format.

Hope this helps :-)
