102. The date and format of the documents appear to be civilian in nature
not military. We never used Y2K formats on dates. For example, a date of August 18, 1973, would be written as 18 AUG 73, the first three letters of the month in caps and no four digit year. If the document was to be signed, the date would not be typewritten on it, but stamped after it was signed.

Military documents always adhered to a strict format, so titles for a MFR would be in all caps: MEMORANDUM FOR THE RECORD.
