A filled-in Afto Form 43 example: a unit chief requests an initial Standard TODO

Afto Form 43 example filled out, example: a unit chief requests an initial Standard TODO
Sam Sample, a unit TODO chief, fills out the AFTO Form 43. Sam's unit requests an initial Standard TODO account, so TODO Code in Type of request stays empty. The picture shows pages 1 and 2 (Block 7) filled in, and its names and figures are sample values. The picture does not show the request type, TODO type or account type selections. From is left blank because the shipping address is also where the unit is. Cancellation date is left blank because the request is not a cancellation. Nothing goes in Command/contracting officer approval because the unit is not a contractor and the TODO is not an EOD TODO. Contract Number and Issuing Agency in TODO type are left blank because the unit is not a contractor. Nothing goes in Security level authorized beyond UNCLASSIFIED because the unit security officer information is required only above unclassified. For AFMC TODO code management activity use only is left blank because the form says to leave it blank. Continuation is left blank because nothing needs more space.
