To Whom It May Concern:

[First M. Last Name], who has been with this organization since January 1984, will be separating from the military in January 1998. I have worked with him on several Air Force projects. As Computer Equipment Control Officer, I have called upon [Fist Name] for his expertise. Therefore I would like to take the opportunity to highly recommend [First M. Last Name].

He is a very efficient and effective worker who always maintains harmonious relationships with co-workers. He is conscientious, cooperative and possesses good work habits.

Despite the lack of experienced personnel when implementing a new mainframe system, [First Name]insured a smooth transition. In addition to completing that seemly, impossible task, he educated the entire population with accepting new computer application procedures. He worked continuously with the Computer Specialist and Customer Engineer in determining hardware and software malfunctions encountered when implementing a new system. In addition to all this, [First Name] was the Small Computer Manager. He developed a monthly small computer newsletter, which kept the users updated on new material. He is presently in charge of all training for computer operators associated with the Sperry 1100/60 Computer System.

We in Data Processing Center will definitely feel the loss of [First Name], as our loss is most certainly someone else’s gain.



[First M. Last Name], GS-9, DAFC
Chief of Resource Management
