Date formatted differently in template

The context of the site is ship model making. Each model is a pods custom post type. The model type has a field for a model maker (modeller), which is a pods custom taxonomy. The modeller taxonomy has a field for the user (so modellers are a subset of registered users).

In the template page for the model, I am attempting to write out the date the modeller joined (and potentially left) the club. I found the date format is dependent on the block that it is within.

[if modeller]
<h3>by {@modeller} </h3>
  [each modeller]
    [if user]
      <p>Member since {@user.date_admitted}</p>
      [if user.date_admitted]
        [if user.date_resigned]
          <p>Member {@user.date_admitted} - {@user.date_resigned}</p>	
        [else]
          <p>Member since {@user.date_admitted}</p>
        [/if]
      [/if]
    [/if]
  [/each]
[/if]

The year alone is the format defined in the pod options and the preferred format for this template.

I attempted to resolve it by using an [each] loop for the user so that I could write just {@date_admitted} and see if that changed the formatting. But the [each] loop does not work at all.

[if modeller]
<h3>by {@modeller} </h3>
  [each modeller]
    [if user]
      <p>Modeller user field is not null</p>
      [each user]
        <p>Beginning each user loop</p>
        [if date_admitted]
          [if date_resigned]
            <p>Member {@date_admitted} - {@date_resigned}</p>	
          [else]
            <p>Member since {@date_admitted}</p>
          [/if]
        [/if]
      [/each]
    [else]
      <p>Modeller user field is null</p>
    [/if]
  [/each]
[/if]

Modeller user field is not null

Am I doing something wrong? Can you change it so the specified formatting is displayed in all cases?

Thanks,
