Key Points to Writing

PCS/PCA Decorations will be based on EPRs/OPRs
Achievement Decorations read like awards, and will need a narrative for justification
DO NOT plan on making up mid-tour points in a PCS medal
Ask for HELP, the only person looking out for #1 is you
The only person looking out for your Airman is YOU!
ASK for/WRITE a Mid Tour decoration
WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get
Use F7 to spell check. Errors reflect badly on you and your subordinate!

The following Example has been taken from a Word Doc. 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.
