Neither. The correct way to identify 12:00 is to say 12:00 noon or 12:00 midnight.

am stands for ante meridiem which means before noon and pm stands for post meridiem which means after noon. Since noon itself is neither before noon or after it, the use of am and pm is not appropriate. The same argument can be applied to midnight.

How do you change time to 12 hours instead of 24 hours?

I am assuming that you mean "how do you change the time from a 24 hour clock to a twelve hour clock." Just subtract 1200 hours from any time over 1200H. 0000H is midnight. 0100H is 1:00 am etc. up to noon. 1200H is Noon. 1300H is 1:00 pm (ie 1300 - 1200 = 100 = 1:00 pm). 1600H would be 4:00 pm (1600 - 1200 = 400 = 4:00 pm). 2200H is 10:00 pm (2200 - 1200 = 1000 = 10:00 pm).


Telling time - Marine time?

It's a 24 hour clock, so no AM or PM. The first two digits are hours, second two are minutes. The day starts at midnight, which is 2400 of yesterday and 0000 of today. Everything after noon (or 12:59 PM to be precise), you just add 1200 to the time. From midnight to 1 AM the hour is 00 (i.e. you subtract 1200 from civilian time.)
