1930 is after noon, so subtract 12 from the hour: 19 minus 12 is 7. Keep the 30 minutes and add PM, which gives 7:30 PM. The same subtraction converts every military time from 1300 to 2359. To go the other way, add 12 to the hour of 7:30 PM: 7 plus 12 is 19, so 7:30 PM is 1930.
How to say 1930
1930 is said "nineteen thirty": the hour as "nineteen" and then the minutes as a plain number. Nobody says "half past" in military time, and nobody says "hundred" once there are minutes on the clock. "Nineteen thirty hours" is common in speech, though Army correspondence rules (AR 25-50, paragraph 1-26) leave the word hours out in writing.
