thducks,

Thank you for your insight, I too have seen quite a few variation over the years. However, I was asking Virtualritz for source references specific to the type setting styles he mentioned.

As for MILSPEC thinking, the US Army (1984 - 2009) followed guidelines developed by our Congress for reporting to them. These weres based upon the MLA and APA style guides, so for my work, there was no MILSPEC thinking, but rather an attempt at quality professional type setting. That said, the Army is slow to change so it is quite possible that my knowledge and references are "outdated"; hence my asking Virtualritz to direct me to sources for the styles he mentioned. Of course if anyone else can cite the current type setting references, it would be most helpful.
