There are a number of common titles of position and rank which are abbreviated. Except for Dr., they are only used before a person's full name (i.e., at least first and last names); otherwise, the title is spelled out.

Prof. William Alfred    Dr. Milton Friedman

Incorrect: Sgt. York    Fr. Drinan    Prof. Alfred
(Abbreviated without first name or initial.)

Correct: Sergeant York    Father Drinan

Practice for internal correspondence within military commands may differ.
