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 real
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

hosting fees and domain fees. (HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also
prompts me to work harder on the site.)

NOTES:
Overall a really good package. The FIT issue is interesting. Although
not allowed on the EPR/OPR, there is no guidance on awards... (if ya got
it use it) The way the AF is moving these days, it is a HUGE buzz word.
Using such in award packages will help make it stand out. I like the
quantification used through out it. The only thing that I noticed off the
bat was the ADPE, AFCERT
and PT acronyms. ADPE and AFCERT were never except when they were spelled
out.
