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.
- Use a spell checker. F7 works well in MS Word.
- Use Merriam-Webster Online
to improve your vocabulary.

The following civilian award 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. (Money gathered pays for
hosting and domain fees plus site growth items. HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also
prompts me to work harder on the site.)

smoothly. The only issue that could really be improved on is some of the

How many is 10+ years of discrepancies? My mind wonders and starts to
