0208 falls in the morning half of the 24-hour clock, so the rule is: the hour matches standard time — just add AM.

When You'll See 0208
The small hours. Overnight crews — hospital night nurses, dispatchers, bakers starting early — see 0208 (2:08 AM) on their logs and handoff notes. Flights departing around 0208 are the first red-eyes of the morning.
To say it out loud, read the two pairs: "zero two oh eight." In formal military usage you may also hear "zero two hundred zero eight hours."
