Dear [Employer]:
I am the commanding officer of
[unit name], a Reserve Force unit in
[community]. One of your
students, [first and last names], is
also a member of my unit.
The United States Air Forces will be conducting a major
military exercise at [location]
[approximate timeframe, e.g., next month, this fall, etc.]. I am writing
to request that [rank and
last name] be granted a leave of absence from
[his/her] classes to participate in this exercise from
[date] to
[date].
[Rank] [last name]
will be employed as [position or job] during the exercise.
[Brief description
of nature of duties, if appropriate, using civilian terminology.] This
will allow [him/her] to
practice [his/her] skills and
knowledge that have been acquired over during
[his/her] Reserve
Force training. The skills and knowledge will also be of direct benefit
[his/her] academic
performance and future civilian career, and I hope you will view this request as
an opportunity to
invest in [his/her] personal and
professional development which is, of course, of interest to both
of us.
If you have any concerns about the nature of
[rank] [last name]'s Reserve Force
service or the
exercise in which [he/she] will be
participating, please don't hesitate to contact
[me personally at
xxx-xxxx] [other designated officer (rank, name, position) at xxx-xxxx].
I would be grateful if you could advise me of your decision
as soon as possible so that we can
finalize our planning work. Your support of
[rank] [last name] and the United States Air Force
are deeply appreciated.
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
