Since military time follows universal time (sometimes referred to as civilian time) with some formatting changes, both are correct. According to the 1884 International Conference for the purpose of fixing a prime meridian and a universal day the day is to "be counted from zero to twenty-four hours". This means that 0000 is midnight at the beginning of the day and 2400 is midnight at the end of the day. (ie 2400 04JUN is the same moment as 0000 05JUN)
In practice, to avoid confusion, most schedules / logs end at 2359 and begin at 0001.
While not in accordance with the standard, you will sometimes see universal time reference end or arrival times as greater than 24:00 (eg open 07:00 to 24:15). You will never see this in military time. The above example would be written as 0700 to 0015.

What is 12 pm in military time?
Are we talking of 12 noon or 12 midnight. 'pm' means 'post meridian' (Latin) for 'afternoon'. If it is 12 noon it is neither before nor after noon , it is 12 NOON. A similarl argument holds for 12 midnight. 'am' are the Latin initials for 'ante meridian ' ; before noon'. In military time ; 12 noon is 1200 hrs. 12 midnight is NEVER used because of confusion over the date/day . The time of '0000' and '2400' is the same instant. So to avoid confusion the earliest/latest times used are 0001/2359 hrs respectively.
What time is 12 o'clock am in military time?
Military time in English speaking countries uses a day of 24 hours beginning at midnight - 2400 hours* - therefore 12 o'clock am (or midday) would be 1200 hours - 6am would be 0600 hours and 6pm, 1800 hours. * Some services use the 24 hour period beginning at 0000 or 0001 hours to 2359 hours not recognizing 2400 hours, thus technically, providing the serviceman with 1 or 2 minutes free time.
