Ever since I've been on RP, I've noticed different abbreviations for Captain. Are both abbreviations proper, or is there just one abbreviation?

Depends on the service. Each on has an official policy (either a Reg or the Abr/Accronym Handbook). The Army uses 3 digit alphanumeric for all ranks. The USMC tends to use traditional "abbreviations" like 1stSgt or LCpl based on the actual word being shortened.

Geesh, Keith. I was an active duty captain in the Air Force and am a retired Army captain, and I did not know the answer. Thanks everyone. Now I still don't know how to abbreviate it.
