Key Points to Writing If you haven't already, take a writing class WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get. Don't be afraid to ask for HELP. The only person looking out for either you or your subordinate is YOU! Use a spell checker (F7 in Office)  Remember, writing doesn't have to win to REWARD! Use various writing resources like Merriam-Webster Online.

The following Noncommissioned Officer of the Year (12 Outstanding Airman of the Year) example has been taken out of IMT.  I did not change mission information, only names to protect myself and the people I have received the information from.  If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  If you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page.  We will both get something out of it.  (All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)

Note:

Very, very good package.  From a attention to detail standpoint, the number of misspellings can detract from a very good package.  Authors, do yourself a favor, spell check, spell check, spell check!  I have been on enough boards to know this very simple action can mean the difference between your person winning or getting second.
