Award Examples USAF Honor Guard of the Quarter Award Cat: AMN Winner: Wing
Key Points to Writing WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get. Ask for HELP, the only person looking out for #1 is you. The only person looking out for your subordinates is YOU! Use a spell checker.  F7 works well in MS Word. Use Merriam-Webster Online to improve your vocabulary.

The following example has been taken out of an AF1206 IMT document.  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.

If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  Also, if you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these items has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please use the Amazon ads on this site to help support it.  All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  (HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)

Notes:

I like this package.  It showed lots of impact and actions.  The only thing I question is the SSgt comment.  I do not see the importance of this in an award...  It could send the wrong meaning to the review board...  Then again this is only my opinion.
