When someone sends out a memo or an e-mail and ends it with v/r, what does that mean? I have searched CT and the knowledgebase, but haven't been able to find anything.
Thanks!
"v/r" is an abbreviation for, "very respectfully."
Oh! That clears it up. Thanks! :)

you beat me to it, Eclipse. I guess that's why you have the shiny TMFT Award :D
I didn't do a general google search because I thought it was just a CAP thing. I googled Civil Air Patrol v/r and got nothing. I guess I need to hone my googling skills...
I've started seeing and doing this more since I started wearing a different shade of blue. IIRC you put V/R, when addressing someone senior to you and just R, when addressing a subordinate.
srsly....
does that open the door for D/R?
Seems like the "respectful" thing to do is to spell it out. It would take less than a second for most people with decent typing skills.

And most people have it as part of their automatic signature, so this holds true even more.
Of course, I too have it in my signature as I saw my recruiters doing the same.
When used, it is better used in informal comm.
Hey, can you do this for me please?
