One aspect not often reported is the writing style. Before I even noticed the font spacing (and I did before I got on FR), I noticed they were using the "new" USAF writing style which was introduced circa 1993. I know this personally because I graduated from the US Air Force Academy that year and had to learn both writing styles in the transition.

As mentioned above, you don't have to be some dark lord of the priesthood of false documents to have spotted these. "MEMORANDUM FOR..." is only as old as 12 years in the USAF as an official style.

That’s what I noticed the night I watched 60 minutes. Take a look at the link.

Yep, you're right. I noticed the same thing. Incorrect format, wrong date type, wrong signature block, etc. And anyone who has every written anything for the AF will not that if it isn't written in the correct format it ain't going anywhere.

Yes, the writing style was something that I noticed right away, everything I dealt with was left justified through 1992, so it must have changed after that. At the time I thought perhaps the Guard had permission to use a different format and I was going to see if I could find out, but the forgery was revealed so quickly that there was no need.
