The following Example has been taken from an AF1206 - IMT so the formatting might be off.  I did not changed mission information, only names to protect myself and the people I have received the information from.  If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  If you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page.  We will both get something out of 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.)

NOTE:

  Very, very good package.  There were a couple of acronym questions and numbering issues.  (Numbers under 10 spelled out unless they deal with time or follow numbers larger than 10 in the same bullet.)  What I liked best about this package is that it showed "global" influence, which is needed to win high level awards.  The technician in question was truly deserving of being the C&I of the wing.
