Default Convert to Military time?

If I have a.m. or p.m. (with the dots), then the values are text.

If that's the case, I could select the range to fix
edit|replace
what: . (dot)
with: (leave blank)
replace all

Then just format the cell as: HH:MM:SS

If those dots are only in the post--not really in the cells, maybe just
formatting the cells would be sufficient.

I am attempting to convert already existing data to military time. The
existing data is dumped in from another program, and it currently looks
like 5:58:08 a.m. and 3:01:29 p.m. I want them to show up 5:58:08
and 13:01:29 (without the a.m. and p.m.)
Users are currently using the "replace all" option to convert these,
but it's a four-step process, and I keep thinking there has got to be
an easier way! Can someone help?
