little insight to the entire process if I know it.
If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so. Also, if
you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these
items has taken considerable amount of time to put together. Please use

prompts me to work harder on the site.)

Air Force Reserve and Guard writing styles differ considerably to
Active Duty, mainly do to AD constant changing political environment

Army and Navy writing styles) Regardless, it is a good example of what
supervisors face in a Joint environment and adds insight on what to look for.
