MEMORANDUM FOR ACC/CC

FROM: WG/CC

SUBJECT: Nomination Letter for S/TSgt <FNAME> <MI> <LNAME>

1. It is my pleasure to submit (Staff /Technical Sergeant) <FNAME> <MI> <LNAME> as a nominee for STEP promotion to Technical Sergeant. S/TSgt <LNAME> sustained record of impeccable performance speaks for itself. The group leadership and I never have a doubt that S/TSgt <LNAME> won’t perform any task with distinction, or go above and beyond what’s asked; given the caliber of the individual, it comes as no surprise. This Air Force Professional is well deserving of another stripe and comes with my wholehearted endorsement

2. I have reviewed the PIF, physical appearance and fitness test score of this nominee. H/she exceeds all USAF standards and does not have any disqualifying factors in their personal data record review RIP. If you have any questions please contact my POC <WG/CCC>, DSN 271-5688.
