A handwritten signature normally contains only first initials or forename, and surname. A printed signature or signature block may read, "J. Smith, Major, retired", "J. Smith, Major, retd", or "J. Smith, Major (retd)". The rank may also be abbreviated; e.g., Capt, Maj, Col, BGen, etc., depending on the degree of formality desired. Except in cases where the writer wishes to establish his/her qualification (e.g., a letter to the editor on a military matter), Captain is normally the least rank to appear as a postnominal honorific.
