Answer 1

If you want time till second, then use this:

SELECT GETDATE() 'Today', 
       CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 108) 'hh:mi:ss'

IF you want time till millisecond, then use this:

SELECT GETDATE() 'Today',
    CONVERT(VARCHAR(12),GETDATE(),114) 'hh:mi:ss:mmm'

GETDATE() is used for current date you can pass any variable here.

Answer 2

If all you want is just military time:

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 108) AS MilitaryTime
