Key Points to Writing

fast in MS Word.
- Use various writing resources like 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
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.)

NOTE:
Air Force Reserve and Guard writing styles differ considerably to
Active Duty, mainly do to AD constant changing political environment
(IMHO). The package here would fail AF AD styles for mainly one
reason. It contains complete sentences. (But, it fits perfectly into both
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.
