I have an instance where the title "Commander" appears twice in fairly quick succession. In the US military at least, ranks have standard abbreviations for various situations where writing out the entire name would be too cumbersome.
Would abbreviating something like the above to "Cmdr." be appropriate to use in prose outside of dialogue? A nagging feeling tells me no, but I'd like to know for sure and quick research was inconclusive.
