military and educational history, and professional military accomplishments.
Following the guidelines in AFH 33-337, The Tongue and Quill, draft an electronic version of
your official Air Force biography. You may also use the student template as a guide.
Assignment Requirements: (more specific than what is outlined in AFH 33-337)

2. Use only military experience within narrative. (Exception: Guard/Reserve Components
may use third paragraph for current civilian employment.)
3. Do not list professional memberships and associations.

** The official Air Force head shot photo is preferred for all official biographies. However, due
to limitations on providing photo services, any form of your head shot in any military uniform
combination with a background setting is acceptable.
