I also noticed another inconstancy - in one of the memos, the expression:
"not later than (NLT)" is used. In my recollection of military
correspondence the correct form should have been: "NLT (Not Later Than)" or
just "NLT" as that was a very common acronym. The parenthetical definition
was provided only after the first use of an acronym in a document. Can
anyone confirm this form?


That's what I learned in English Composition I as a Freshman :-)
