The 2200 hour, every quarter
What 2200 means on a shift
The second shift, 1400 to 2200, is 8 hours and ends here. In the services, taps is sounded and lights go out at or around 2200 on many bases. Night shifts that start at 2300 are commuting in. Last call in states with early closing laws is near this hour, and most public transport moves to a reduced timetable.
The mistake people make with 2200
2200 is 10 PM. The confusion is with 1000, which is 10 AM, because ten is the first hour whose shape does not change between the two systems and people expect the same number twice. It is not: 10 PM adds twelve. 10 plus 12 is 22.
2200 is 10:00 PM, spoken twenty-two hundred hours. Twenty-two minus twelve is ten. It is the traditional hour for lights out, the end of the 2-to-10 second shift, and the beginning of the quietest part of the night for most schedules.
Worked examples
- 2200 to standard
- 22 minus 12 is 10, PM: 10:00 PM.
- 10:00 PM to military

- The second shift ends
- 1400 to 2200 is 8 hours. Handover to the 2200 or 2300 night shift.
How it is calculated
2200 is 22 minus 12, which is 10 PM. 10 PM is 10 plus 12, which is 2200. 10 AM is 1000.
