Key Points

  • If you haven't already, Take a writing class. English Comp will do.
  • WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get.
  • Ask for HELP, not knowing what you are doing can hurt you, your "Airmen" and unit.
  • Use various writing resources like Merriam-Webster Online
  • Use a spell checker.  (F7 Word)
  • Remember, there is a purpose for writing a letter or MFR.

Not all writing has too be for Awards, Performance Reports, Decorations, or Disciplinary.  Sometimes it is very useful for positive reinforcement.  Below is the Letter Factory.  Within it, I am put together letter categories with a number of examples.  If you have something to add, please submit it.
