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 Airman of the Year example has been taken out of IMT viewer so the formatting might be slightly off.  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 award examples has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from Amazon.com by using one of 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:

This is a pretty good package. I hope the person whom this package is on submitted an Air Force Suggestion form based on the following line; - Identified/repaired leaking tilt cylinders on a bomblift; replaced $0.70 o-rings instead of cylinder; saved $2.3K

I like the word zealot, but using it in the context about detracts from the entire package...  If you are curious of its definition on M-W.com.  While on the dictionary kick, personal ought to be personnel .

Like this package, take a look at the NCO of the Year package from the same location.
