They think it’s military time. I don’t know why because it doesn’t even read the same.
Military would be something like thousand five hundred and thirty hours, we (people with 24h clocks) read it like fifteen thirty or three thirty in the afternoon, or even three thirty and omit the morning/afternoon part because it’s assumed from context.
Not really true either, it’s often called military time as a colloquialism because people will know what you mean and it strangely feels more normal/easier to say than “Twenty Four Hour Clock.”
EDIT: Also for the nomenclature, I personally still refer to time in the 12 hr format when talking, but if for some reason I have to say the 24 hr format it depends on the number. I would also say fifteen thirty for 15:30, but I would say fifteen hundred for 15:00.
