Key Points to Writing
- WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get.
- Ask for HELP, the only person looking out for #1 is you.
- The only person looking out for your subordinates is YOU!
- Use a spell checker. F7 works great in MS Word.
- Use Merriam-Webster Online
to improve your vocabulary.

The following example has been taken out of a IMT document. I have changed mission information to protect myself and the
people I have received the information from. I will attempt to give a
little insight to the entire process if I know it.
If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so. Also, if

NOTE:
Air Force Reserve and Guard writing
styles differ considerably to Active Duty, mainly do to AD constant changing
political environment (IMHO). I like this. The writer has improved
their writing style since the 04 award examples. It flows very smoothly.
There are some acronyms that are AFR/AFG common. As well as the use of
dates for UTAs. Besides that, it has good cause and effect/action-impact
writing. The only problem I seen was a small numbering problem. That
was due to the lack of space to write out; "three". |
