Award Examples Enlisted Recognition Program Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) of the Quarter Award Cat: NCO Winner: Wing
Key Points to Writing If you haven't already, take a writing class WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get. Don't be afraid to ask for HELP. The only person looking out for either you or your subordinate is YOU! Use a spell checker (F7 in Office)  Remember, writing doesn't have to win to REWARD! Use various writing resources like Merriam-Webster Online.

The following Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) of the Quarter example has been taken out of a IMT document.  I did not change 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 Good package. There are only two things to look at in this one.  Instead of General XXXXX, state position.  It makes it a ready bullet for an EPR and others might have a better idea who presented it.  second, list the acronyms in alphabetically.  This makes them easier to decipher.
