I'm sure this has been answered, previously.

But in copying a chart from DOD on rank abbreviations, I noticed that LT junior grade was shown as LTJG. But the Zumwalt citations for Kerry use LT (JG). Anyone know why?

FWIW, I've seen all of the following in use on official documents and reports:

LTJG, LT(JG), LTjg and LT(jg)

Wasn't mandatory, in other words.

Typically a standard would be followed, and the abbreviations corrected in official documents. But somehow I think considering Zumwalt's stature at the time, no one would be willing to correct him anyway.

The standard between '65 and '69 was LT (jg).

Verbally, it was lieutenant whether "full" or "jg".
