Military Writing  - Award Examples 12 Outstanding Airman of the Year Award Cat: SNCO Winner: Yes - HQ AFI 36-2805 para 3.4
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 troops is YOU! Use a spell checker.  F7 works real fast in MS Word. Use various writing resources like Merriam-Webster Online to improve your vocabulary.

The following example has been taken out of a PDF 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.
