Whenever possible and sometimes when not very possible always, always take a shortcut.
Military orders are generally full of shortcuts. JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC were all the months.
"Off WP" instead of "officer will proceed" never "you will go" or "you will proceed".
"AR NLT" instead of "arrive not later than" or "arrive no later than" the memo actually has "not later than" and then (NLT) in parentheses. WHY?
Lastly - Rank was always ASAP(As Short As Possible) 1st Lieut, nope, it was always 1LT.
Oh, and lest we forget. National Guard units were always the ugly stepchildren of the military and getting hand-me-downs, not top of the line typewriters, especially since no one above the rank of buck Sargent ever typed anything longer than a brief "Reply by Endorsement."
These documents look to be the work of someone who had a couple of years or ROTC and quit before advanced ROTC because he realized he had to be in more than a couple of years to make 5 stars.
At best they are the work of a fresh recruit to the TANG and LTC Killian was not a man who knew how to constructively chew ass.
I have about a half-inch of documents on a cousin who flew a B-17 and was lost in 1943. These documents are from 1943 to 1948 and include Missing Crew Report, disposition of personal effects, results of search in Mediterranean, etc.. Virtually every reference to his rank is 1st Lt. (including the period).
On many of my own documents from the Army in 1952-53, the signers are 1st Lt. and Lt. Col..
