Is there a regulation/message regarding the so called inspirational/uplifting quotes people attach to the bottom of their official emails?

AR 25-20

Chapter 6
Authority Lines, Signatures, and Signature Blocks



It is not mentioned as allowed.

It is probably best to remain with the motto or saying of your command/unit that is approved if anything else. As a fellow warrant, I feel the description we had as WO1s as being the regulation guru's and SMEs of how to research, that we should find the answer. AR 25-50 should begin to address correspondence not only in the writing on paper sense, but the digital realm as well. Of course spell check too.

The AF discusses it. Should resemble an official signature block with additional info of contact info (mailing address, phone number). No forgein languages, no graphics, and no "background stationary". Should have privacy act and PII notice for those materials that have requirements of that. As to personal slogans, speaks less to that, but discouraged.

There is a policy against it for Air Force personnel.

AFMAN 33-152
6.4.2.2. Restrict the signature block to name, rank, service affiliation, duty title, organization name, phone numbers (DSN and/or commercial as appropriate), and social media contact information.
6.4.2.3. Do not add slogans, quotes, or other personalization to an official signature block.

Things must be changing fast. Like some of the respondents here, I'm a man of faith, and appreciate a good scripture...I'm also an "optimist" and see the value in a positive word or two. As a "warrior", a good old fashioned quotation from Patton get's a grin. However, I can't imagine putting anything in a signature block other than my name, rank and contact information on a formal email communication...particularly while on active duty, and to be frank, even now, as a sales executive. I'm CERTAIN there are regulations governing this.

This was mine at the end of my email. I love it to this day.
