
Now we have more variations

BULLET WRITING

Bullet Formats
 To best illustrate how you can build multiple bullet formats out of a single action, we will use the same example story for each format

BULLET WRITING

Bullet Formats

In 1896, William Ivy Baldwin and his wife built a
14,000 cubic foot silk balloon. Baldwin enlisted in 1897 and was tasked to ready the balloon for Signal Corps service. The balloon Santiago was used during the
Spanish-American War at the battle of San Juan Hill.
Some historians believe that the use of the balloon was a determining factor in the victory of this critical battle.

BULLET WRITING

Bullet Formats
 A ccomplishment; I mpact (AI)
 Accomplishment: person’s action or behavior
 Impact: the results expressly stated or implied

BULLET WRITING

BULLET WRITING

Bullet Formats
 A ction; I mpact-R esult (AIR)
 Action: Individual performance
 Impact: How the task affected the next level
 Result: Tie results to the big picture

BULLET WRITING

 W hat; H ow-I mpact (WHI)
 What: What task did the individual do?
 How?: How did the individual accomplish the task?
 Impact: What was the outcome?
These bullets are handy in different circumstances such as putting your nominee in for an award like the
MTL Pacesetter when graders might want to see how individual actually accomplished the mission.

THE IMPORTANCE OF RESEARCH
82nd Security Forces Squadron is top AETC Small SF Unit
5/2/2012 - SHEPPARD AIR FORCE BASE, Texas -- The 82nd Security Forces Squadron has done it again, winning the 2012 Air Education and
Training Command Small Unit Award for the sixth time.
"This is awesome, this is the second time since I've been in this unit that we have won this award," said Capt. Jack McGonegal, 82nd SFS operations officer.
By winning the AETC award, they were eligible for the Air Force-level award, which they've won three times previously. Unfortunately, they did not win the Air Force wide award this year.
Although winning the award is a great accomplishment for the squadron, it's really just business as usual for unit and its members.
"Many of the accomplishments are what one person has done," said Capt. Jack McGonegal. "90 percent of the people in our unit are under 23 years old and on their first term of enlistment. The stuff they are doing day in and day out is unbelievable."
Despite being short-handed due to deployments for most of the year, security of the installation was never at risk.
Capt. McGonegal said the largest accomplishment was the transition to contract security. While training all the new personnel and getting them up to speed, they still had to support the Combatant Commanders overseas.
"We had a long period of 12 hour shifts," said Capt McGonegal. "These guys worked 6 days a week, 14 hours a day."
Being in eight hour shifts has been a welcome relief to the base Defenders.
"The troops love it," McGonegal said. "They are able to attend school and go to the gym. The fitness rate for the security forces has gone up 10 percent. We can now help them take care of themselves a whole lot better."
