It is not necessary to shout at us.

He’s not shouting. That’s probably normal protocol.
REALLY??? Most messages are set in all caps!
Telegraphic / teletype messages are allcaps.
Not shouting.

Paul,
This message was relayed just as received. Old time traffic handers and knowledgeable OP’s will recognize that formal traffic is copied ALL CAPS. Mills (telegraph operators typewriters) only CAPITAL LETTERS.
As this was an FYI of a formal message content I did not edit or modify it.
Thanks for your input.

By the way, the use of “X” in lieu of punctuation is also characteristic of formal message traffic.

Guys it’s a text message. READ THE TEXT AND THE CONTENT not if it is CAPS OR not. Wow. People take a chill pill.
All, I apologize for any confusion as the Director of Army MARS Region 6. Typically, ACP 127 and 126 messages in the military environment are set in all CAPS. Much of the Allied communication procedures or ACPs were developed when teletypes were the primary means of digital communication.
I apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your interest in Army MARS

Quick note that I’m assisting with this exercise, and am currently discussing the translation from 213 to radiogram so these can flow through the system. The entire traffic system is part of this.
