About 3 PM
3 PM is 1500 on the 24-hour clock, or 1500 hours in military time. It falls in the afternoon, 15 hours after the previous midnight and 9 hours before the next one. If 3 PM has already passed today, the count runs to 3 PM tomorrow.
3 PM is a common hotel check-in time, and many US school days end around then.
