Military date format
Kickin' Ass and Takin' Names
concerning the format used by the US military for expressing the date.
Army Regulation 25-50 establishes the date format used by the Army.
http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r25_50.pdf
Note there are several formats in use, depending upon the type of
correspondence and the formality of the correspondence.
Basically, the military date format is DAY MONTH YEAR.
Formal correspondence spells out the month and year -- e.g.: 3 June
2002, 15 June 2002, 27 September 1998. (Note the date printed at the
bottom of each page of AR 25-50 as an example.)
http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/r25_50.pdf
A short date format is also used for correspondence in which space is
limited or brevity is important. In these cases, the date may be
written variously: DAY ABBREVIATED MONTH ABBREVIATED YEAR
In the short format, 15 September 2010 can be written as:
15 Sep 10
OR
15 SEP 10
OR
1 Jan 94
OR
01 JAN 94
Note that in the short form date:
-- the day can be one or two digist, depending on formality of the
document.
-- the month always consists of three letters -- Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr,
May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec -- and can be written
capitalized with lower case, or, all caps.
-- the year is always two digits -- e.g., 15 Sep 99, NOT 15 Sep 1999.
(Page 27, AR 25-50; Par 2-4a(2)(c).
Of course, message correspondence used the DTG -- DATE TIME GROUP --
which is another matter entirely. The DTG includes date and time
written as DA (2 DIGITS) HOUR (2 DIGITS) MINUTE (2 DIGITS) Z
(SPACE) MONTH (3 LETTERS) YEAR (2 DIGITS).
1545 HOURS ZULU on 1 JANUARY 1998 would be written as:
011545 Z JAN 98
Certain older message systems run it all together:
011545ZJAN98
When discussing military matters, it's always a good idea to go to the
original source -- regulations -- and don't depend on short, specific
documents that may not address the matter in depth or detail.

No, Foghorn, it shouldn't.
It should be written as 011545Z JAN 98 per ACP-127. Sheesh.

The Army is is not the ultimate authority in military or government
communications. Government/military record traffic is generally ACP-127
formatted.

LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2–4. Format
When writing a memorandum..........
(2) Date.
(c) Express the date in this order: day, month, year. Day—Express in
numerals. Month—Spell out if the year is not abbreviated; abbreviate
if the year is abbreviated (15 January 1999 or 15 Jan 99 but not 15
January 99 or 15 Jan 1999).

You FAILED to CITE your source.
This is one such source: http://www.americal.org/awards/ph.htm
You FAILED to consider:

What "official record" would that be?

Why would commanders be "contemplating an award of this decoration" if
OFFICIAL APPROVAL WAS NOT REQUIRED?
>The fact that... ...is not sole justification for award.
Why would "justification for award" be REQUIRED if OFFICIAL APPROVAL
WAS NOT REQUIRED?
>(6) ...Commanders must also take into consideration the

Why would commanders be considering the "circumstances surrounding an
injury" if OFFICIAL APPROVAL WAS NOT REQUIRED?
In addition to DEBUNKING the Kerry MYTH I have ALSO DEBUNKED the LIE
that YOU had a career in the military.
ONLY a DISHONORABLE LIAR would post material WITHOUT A CITE.
ONLY a DISHONORABLE LIAR with ZERO MILITARY EXPERIENCE would NOT BE

What part of "ALL RECOMMENDATIONS for Defense decorations shall be
submitted by official memorandum or letter" don't YOU understand?

You are a 'beneficiary' BECAUSE "you are the widow or widower of a
service member..."
>I just love it when you're busted again and again and again.
In case you haven't noticed THIS IS GAME OVER FOR YOU.
YOU are an OLD WOMAN.
Case closed.
YOU were a Service Member's DOORMAT.
Case closed.
That Service member died, making YOU a "beneficiary" of HIS BENEFITS.
Case closed.
YOU NEVER SERVED.
PROVEN.
Case closed.
And...
Game over.
(The BEST part is that I knew if I waited long enough YOU would
provide the very CITE that WOULD DO YOU IN!)

No it isn't. You placed a space between the time and the letter "Z."
Take a gander at your work up the page. If you intend to give some guy
hell over the manner in which he uses a date, you'd better have your
shit grouped.
