The most common was is a standardized 2400 hour system. This system is used in most timekeeping objects, such as [[Helmet Recorder]]s, UNSC watches, and clocks. (It was also used at the beginning of each chapter of the four Halo books and all games). This system is based off of the rotation of Earth; 2400 hours most likely corresponds to a standard Earth day (Where 0000 is midnight and 1200 is noon).

A second, more uncommon measure is only though of as a "month percentage" time. It has never been explained and can only be inferred as recording the percentage of a month that has passed on the Military Calendar. An example of when this is used is on the [[UNSC Astrophysics]] papers, each is dated according to this system. The one made by [[SPARTAN-084]] was published on '''May 097''', and it can only be assumed that this referrs to the end of may, after 97% of the month has passed according to the [[wikipedia:Gregorian Calendar|Gregorian Calendar]] used on Earth.
