Bravo Zulu Testimonials

Bravo Zulu or “BZ”, is simply, in the parlance of the sea service military and maritime, a “Congratulations and Well Done.” Originating from a flag hoist and military voice radio, use of the term BRAVO ZULU has also been extended in contemporary times to include written correspondence, message traffic, and email traffic from senior U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and US Public Health Service commissioned officers in command or senior supervisory positions (e.g., captains and flag officers in the Navy, Coast Guard, NOAA, and USPHS, and colonels and general officers in the Marine Corps) to congratulate or otherwise compliment colleagues, contemporaries, or juniors, the latter to include their subordinate crews or commands, for outstanding performance.
