V/r or V/R?

[ea6bflyr]

It literally doesn’t matter as long as you keep annoying, sanctimonious leadership quotes out of your signature block.

Or your certifications….I have a co-worker that puts every CompTIA certification in their signature line (A+/ Security+, Network+, etc) in pictures….OMFG!

 

[ea6bflyr]

So if I’m writing a bridge-burning, career-ending e-mail to the Admiral do I use “F/y” or “F/Y”?

At that point, it really doesn’t matter. If you’re going for points, sign it V/r & G/f/y but spelled out.
Also, why do Jarheads always write S/f, vice V/r?

I have always wanted to demand that my people close e-mails to me with,

Your Obedient Servant

I think it's actually W/A/D/R/F/Y.

Or your ACTC quals. There is a guy at Pt Mugu who has “EA-6B SEAD Lead” in his signature block. Whoop de fucking do. ?

What about "Former HAVOC CO" or "Former VAQ-XXX Skipper" ?

Beat me to it. Once upon a time in JOPA we signed emails to each other with WADRGFY

In your signature block? Of course not. In your AW profile, absolutely. ?

It's in the SECNAV Correspondence Manual, M-5216.5, IIRC.

It's V/r, because it's Sentence case not Title Case: Very respectfully, is shortened to V/r,
When speaking to equal or lower rank it's Respectfully, or R,

The SECNAV manual will tell you that the abbreviations are only for follow-on conversations within an email chain. Initial emails should be spelled out, but almost no one does that.

OTOH, everyone thoughtlessly uses R/ per the manual, even though Respectfully, would be abbreviated as R,

I submitted a change request to fix it, but I think it was ignored. (Yes. I'm a huge nerd.)

It's g/F/y for bridge burning. Or G/F/Y. But never G/f/Y- that's just weird.

I’m open to people using major career certs as postnomials on places like LinkedIn and resumes, because if the recruiter is looking for a PMP, an MBA, a terminal Agile coaching cert, or similar, it’s honestly just saving everyone’s time.

But an A+ is so fucking not that. It’s like insisting people refer to you as Joe Schmoe, ENS USN.

The civ world desperately needs something easy and universal like V/r,

Everything else seems so overly formal or passive aggressive. Like "Best, " for example. Hard to say out loud without sounding like a little shit. Only thing that ever feels right is a good Thanks, or Thank You, if you are requesting something or asking for help.

I like cheers in a civilian setting. I hope that’s not glorifying alcohol. ?
