iPad calendar appts stuck in military time

I'm working on an iPad 2. My issue is with the calendar. The calendar itself is set in standard a.m./p.m. time, but it has reset the appointments to military/24 hour time. This can't be corrected by turning off 24 hour time, because its already off. If I am looking at the "day" calendar with the split screen, the right hand side shows the day laid out by the hour, in standard time, but on the left, the appointments are shown with military time. So if I am in the monthly calendar and I click on an appt, it will show "13:30 pm to 14:30pm" but when I go to edit the event it shows starts 1:30pm to 2:30pm. How can I fix this glitch?

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 5.1.1

Settings > Date & Time > 24-hour time -Off.

Also you might want to check time zone settings, and go into International and check the Region Format. Then do a reset of the phone by holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. That will restart the phone. This should correct it.

24-hour time is already off. Everything else in in standard time, with the correct time zone and format. That's the problem. The appointments are set in standard time, but appear in military time. Its as if it is using both at once. Restarting did not help.
