You're supposed to make a change to your locale in
Personalization --> Regional Settings --> Formats
there you're supposed to check the "Detailed Settings" box and then pick a
locale for Time what does 24hr such as gb (Great Britian). You could use "C"
from the GUI but there is currently a bug which causes that to fail.
What I do is to simply add
export LC_TIME=C
to my ~/.bashrc file.
No matter what you do, you need to logout/login for the changes to take effect.
There is a BZ upstream to address this whole issue. People are generally unhappy with
the current method which lacks the ability to make more precise settings for your
preferred formats.
Thanks for the info!
