[FedCom] Tour Pax Ship Covert Alerting Devices

[Michael Rumberg]

Thank Greg.

hmm, thats interesting.  

I am used such directives being signed with rank indicated (as stars are something to be rightly proud of).  is this usual just for CG or is it frequent for the other services to sign with their position titles and not ranks?
