Question concerning civilians working at military bases,

[PRETZEL]

just got an e-mail from an old HS friend. We check in with each other a couple of times a year. His e-mail has the letters 'CIV' after his name.

Is that solely used just for civilian designation.

He works at an AF base.

Thanks,

1. That would be my guess.

Similarly, the letters ".ctr" is sometimes used after the names of contractor employees. At least that's the case for folks who work on the local Navy base.

2. Means civilian employee of the military..his work email within the military network
