addressing officers in email

[Redux]

0 4 and below got a "Mr". above, Cdr, Captain and OMG were called by rank.

Can't go wrong with "Sir," or "LT coolasshit,".

Good gouge above.

BSAE ENS, USN

Forgive my stupidity, but what's the BSAE before ENS in your signature?

 

[haubby]

If he was smart, NAC and FMF

I'd have just gone with NAC and SS. The rest are just flair.

I think in this case it stands for "Bull $hit Artist Ensign" .

Did this HMC have a family?

When he was picking out his two qualifications badges to wear, did he just close his eyes and pick two?

Jeebus!!

He pretty much wore the two that fit the community. In addition to all the enlisted warfare devices her earned, he recently did a tour in Iraq as a Physicians Assistant and earned the new FMF pin as an officer. I forgot to mention that he didn't graduate from High School and grew up in inner city New York.

He was my first LPO and there's no way I would be where I am today if it wasn't for him.

BS Aero Engineering (?)

If you're writing to your CO and/or XO, "#1" and "#2" seem to go over well.

 

[BACONATOR]

Bingo....

I personally liked bullshit artist ensign.

Probably more appropriate. Bogey, who the hell puts their degree in their signature??? Tool. Doubly so because it has nothing to do with the subject at hand...military courtesy. You probably put US Navy as your "company" for UPS deliverys too...

That was like what 10 years ago and people are still talking about that guy. I met his brother when he was a stash ensign at SAR school. This guy was at a command function playing volleyball shirtless with a huge nipple ring. What a retard.

I think if you're saying your own title, like on the phone, you should say "Lieutenant Jay-Gee Boner" or "Lieutenant Commander Buzzkill," but I don't know if that's written anywhere. I'll let others promote me rather than promote myself.

I can't remember where that is written but I have always been told to use your exact rank so you don't promote yourself. i.e. Calling yourself CDR when you are a LCDR. Someone else can can verbally promote you, i.e. LT vice LTJG, etc. but I don't know where it is written.

"bullshit artist, extraordinaire" was the first thing that popped in my mind.

I've known many a douchebag in the air force to brag about calling over to a Navy base and identify themselves as CAPT so-and-so and get the first class treatment while not specifying their service.

I think I've dealt with a few "phone CDRs" in my day.
