V/r or V/R?

[Sonog]

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

Cheers is good. Sometimes I think it can come off as too "bro-ey".

 

[Flash]

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.

The Brits love 'Regards' and I've adopted that.

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

Princess Melanie!

Well, for the semi-formal, sure. Ordinarily, I use "tootles" and "ta" .

You could also use "Fuck off ya tosser!" for your closest friends, or assholes.

Wait...I thought V/r stood for "Very regards"

The capital V means Vociferous regards

No no, it’s short hand for VelociRaptor

No, in some circles, it stands for Very religious. (or Vapidly religious). ??

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

I see this in the corporate world too… and the quotes are typically more obscure and irritating (as in why? Who are you trying to impress?)

Seriously, V/R, v/r, /R, whatever… if you’re being respectful, I never really cared that much. I sign all military emails V/R, and acknowledge that as not being technically correct- I just don’t find it all that important, it just needs to not be distracting.

In my civ job, I just sign with “Thanks”.

The one that always stood out to me was a US Army CO I had who signed his emails “With Utmost Respect”. Seems overstated for an email, IMO.

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.

Lol…professional certification poser.

Regarding Smart's tattoos, an anonymous source indicated that he had only completed a PMP bootcamp and had not yet passed the certification exam. If true, Smart would be considered a “professional certification poser” and/or “resume padder,” the civilian equivalent of “stolen valor.” This also raises ethical questions regarding these types of tattoos and the individual’s responsibility should their certifications lapse.
