Dear [Employer]:
As you may be aware, in addition to being employed
with [company or organization name], I
am
also a member of the Reserve Force, serving with
[unit name] in
[community].
Reservists such as myself serve in the United States
Air Force on a part-time basis. As a member
of the Reserve Force, I am required to undergo various military training courses
in order to
develop skills that will allow me to take on increasingly difficult positions of
responsibility.
In general, there are three aspects to all courses I
undertake. The first is skill training as a
[trade].
The second is general work and management skills such as problem analysis, time
management,
leadership, teamwork and self-discipline. Finally, being in the military
requires that I meet a high
standard of duty, integrity and dependability. I believe that this training is
not only of personal
and professional benefit to me, but also has a direct and positive effect on my
civilian
employment.
This year, as part of my career progression, I have the
opportunity to complete a course to be
conducted at [location] from
[date] to [date]. I therefore
request leave for military training [in
accordance with established company policy].
[I also request that you consider salary
top-up to
fill the gap between my military and civilian pay.]
I hope that you will give this request your most
serious consideration. Your investment in my
military career also represents an investment for
[company or organization name].
If you have any concerns about the nature of my
service, please don't hesitate to call [me]
[rank,
name and position of Commanding Officer or designate] at
[telephone number].
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
