Most everyone wants to be recognized for the effort they give to get the mission done and improve their workplace.  Airmen that win awards or get promoted work hard and their actions are well documented.  However, in my 25-year career I saw many Airmen suffer at the expense of poor documentation, poor writing and sometimes poor advice.  I was blessed to serve as part of a six-chief panel that wrote one of the promotion tests for E-8.  I have also written and/or revised award packages that have won at these levels: 12 Outstanding Airmen of The Year, HQ ACC General Lew Allen award, HQ PACAF Leo Marquez, HQ AFSOC Medical awards, HQ PACAF Outstanding Airman of The Year, and numerous wing and functional awards.  I know what it takes to win. I have developed AirmanPromotionTools.com to help you achieve your highest potential!
