The information within originated on the web in 2002 when it was a small portion of fromtheinside.us.  In 2005, it separated from fromtheinside.us and became a large part of AFMentor.com as its popularity grew.  Now, it stands alone.  Through this growth cycle, there have been strong bonds formed with various partner sites.  Due to this, visitors may see an occasional graphic and/or link pointing representing them.

Key Points

• If you haven't already, take a writing class.  It is worth every penny!

• Take a creative writing class; it forces effective, vivid writing

• WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get.

• Don't be afraid to ask for HELP.  It is the reason why there are SNCOs!

• The only person looking out for either you or your subordinate is YOU!

• Use resources like Merriam-Webster, it will broaden your vocabulary.

• Use a spell checker (F7 in Office). Spelling mistakes are inexcusable today!

• Remember, writing doesn't have to win to REWARD!

Misconceptions

• Military Writing is different from Civilian writing. Wrong! Sentence structure, subject-verb-predicate, remains the same.

• I don't have to write until I am a (fill in a Rank). Wrong! If you haven't learned by now, most people are lazy! If you can give your supervisor a package, group of accomplishments, etc. the better off you will be.

• Each service branch has a different way to write. Wrong! Writing is writing. Each branch may look for a specific structure, but ultimately it follows Action-Impact.

• You have to write to win.  Wrong! You write to acknowledge, reinforce, and/or reward behavior

Key Points to Decorations

• PCS/PCA Decorations will be based on EPRs/OPRs
• Achievement Decorations read like awards, and will need a narrative for justification
• DO NOT plan on making up mid-tour points in a PCS medal
• Ask for HELP, the only person looking out for #1 is you
• The only person looking out for your Airman is YOU!
• ASK for/WRITE a Mid Tour decoration 
• WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get
• Use F7 to spell check. Errors reflect badly on you and your subordinate!
