So me and several where having a discussion of sorts and I said you could use black or blue ink for official forms. I&#39;m right or wrong? 2019-01-04T21:08:01-05:00 SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member 4260105

Go BLACK, be safe! <br /><br />I continue seeing requirements for ‘black’ ink only. Black only makes no sense to me, so what! I always try to avoid problems!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If memory serves, the Reg say black or blue-black. Though I haven&#39;t seen blue-black ink in years.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Black or Blue is authorized...however...I have seen VERY FEW forms in blue ink. I had a Commander that would require the entire document in black ink - but would sign in blue ink and then scan to PDF (one of his quirks, I suppose).

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>In all the regulations and instructions that I have read state blue, blue-black, or black. Many supply forms require pencil entries until the transaction is fully completed.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Most DA Forms are CAC signed now, and have been for years, even those that require a &quot;wet&quot; signature (DA 1687) use a CAC signature with a pdf picture of an ink signature.
