SECTION II - NARRATIVE

NARRATIVE:

1.Letters should be should be 3 to 5 paragraphs with specific, quantifiable comments about the service members character and tactical and technical competence.

2.You may use information from the service member's entire record, including comments about schools completed, assignments, deployments, impact awards, achievements and accomplishments.

3.Generic flowery comments are not effective in communicating the service member's attributes to board members. If you can change the name of the person being recommended to someone else and the comments are not false, then the letter is probably too generic to communicate effectively to board members.

EXAMPLE WRITE-UP:

1.It is my absolute privilege to recommend SGT Sample for entry into the Warrant Officer Procurement Program as a Human Resources Technician (420A). I have reviewed SGT Sample’s credentials and found his records very worthy for warrant officer candidacy. As such, SGT Sample has earned my vote of confidence to compete for warrant officer selection.

2.SGT Sample served with me during a year-long deployment to Balad, Iraq 2004. During this time, I personally observed and worked with SGT Sample on several personnel support issues. My observation of him is that of an industrious Senior Personnel Sergeant fully capable of performing his administrative duties. SGT Sample worked tirelessly processing personnel actions for 849th Transportation Battalion, Ft Bragg NC. Those actions included; Joint Personnel Status Reporting (JPERSTAT), Casualty Operations, ID Tags, Fighter Management Pass Program (FMPP), legal processing and administrative advisor to both the Battalion and Company Commander.

Without question, SGT Sample superbly performed AG Wartime Functions in accordance with FM 12-6.

3.SGT Sample possesses the qualities of a self-starter and a leader. His mastery of warrior tasks and drills led to his selection as NCO of the Quarter. Further, he mentored a subordinate to compete and win 1st TSC's Solider of the Year competition. SGT Sample completed BNCOC with a 97.4 GPA. He has received numerous valor and service awards for technical merit including the prestigious Bronzes Star. SGT Sample is active within the community and is not afraid to dialog regarding the issues of the day. He is a well-rounded, respected member of both the military and civilian community.

4.In conclusion, SGT Sample has a rare blend of technical and tactical proficiency as evident by his outstanding military career. For this reason, I gladly recommend him for acceptance into the Warrant Officer Corps as a Human Resources Technician (420A)
