…and degrees…Add post-nominals for the Order of St John for extra points
At least I can say that I definitely have not addd my CAF postnominals to my cop signature block. I literally had a colleague tell me I should just a few weeks ago.

What’s the etiquette on this? I’m not in the CD club. I assumed it was supposed to be done- not CD1 or 2 though.

I work with an S.C., and also with an M.B. with bar, and that’s just in my immediate section. So I’d look like a bit of a wiener if I tried to throw mine around.
No real etiquette issue; I wouldn’t actually be in the wrong to. I just don’t want it to look like a “look at me”.

Correct, @Booter. There is only one proper post-nominal…’CD.’ CD1, CD2, CDx are all incorrect as format post-nominals.

Me either. I don't put post nominals or pronouns in my email signature block.

You earned them and at least one surely wasn't a 'gimme". So, why not?
I have a lot of vets on my team and I think it nicely bridges the gap between the blue and green worlds.
I have my CD post nominal in mine. It’s come in handy a few times at work. Both when I was at DND and where I am now. Most people have no idea what it is but when they do it’s normally because they have a CAF background and it does create a bit of a commonality that helps in conversations and create rapport.
I didn’t do it for a while until someone explained how it could be useful in certain circumstances.

Hm, you’re not wrong. I actually had a file not long ago when I saw a CD in the sig block of a guy I was speaking with from another agency; his name was vaguely familiar too. Late in the conversation I asked him about it, turned out we’d actually worked together briefly on an exercise some decade and a half prior. Actually I think he was one of yours.
I occasionally have some interactions with CAF; I’d consider using them in that context if it opened a door or two.

As a former Brigade member and Superintendent, I get twitchy when I see that - we were explicitly told it's only supposed to be used for business related to the Order. I have it on my CV in brackets. I laugh when I see folks on LinkedIn using it in non-SJA related stuff...one in particular, who also uses Dr as a prefix but doesn't have the degree after their name, but their KSJ is listed...and I'm pretty sure they're a PhD in something and not an MD/DO/DDS.Add post-nominals for the Order of St John for extra points
I have my CD listed on my formal calling cards and my CV, but not my appointment cards - only my CCPA, which is my professional designation. Oh, and it's "CD" not "CD1" or "CD with Bar"....
