1. Use correct opening and closing sentences.
2. Use full military rank & name in first sentence (ex: Master Sergeant John J. Doe). Short oral address in second and closing sentences (ex: Sergeant Doe). Pronouns in other sentences (ex: he).
3. Use transitions (During this period, Sergeant Doe…, Additionally he…, Furthermore he…, Finally he…)
4. Do not use abbreviations, acronyms, special characters, or superscript.
5. Spell out numbers ten and less and millions/billions (ex: two million dollars or $2 million (preferred)). Use numerals for 1,000 to 9,999 (ex: 2,357).
6. Use third person, active voice, past tense. Also use only 12 font.
7. Do not use alphanumeric organizational designators. (ex: SCOO)
8. Do not include classified information on citation.
9. Avoid using titles, terms, and expressions (“Geek-Speak”) not easily understood by general public. And also avoid using exaggerated superlatives (ex. unequalled / unprecedented).
10. Include quarterly, annual military & PME awards received (individual, team or unit) and base or community leadership involvement.
