When someone asks, “What’s the military like?”, you can now point to this memo. What you see above is from a senior master sergeant (E-8) in the US Air Force. He\/she is the Operations Superintendent for the 379th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron. They’re at some deployed location and the Senior here decided to clear the air and direct his NCOs on how he’d like things run. No problem, right? Well, some of the things they demand they violate in their own memo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Under bullet “g.”; \u201cPaperwork, specifically [letters of evaluation] and decorations, are expected to be flawless before upchanneling from your flight. Spellcheck and the Dec Writing Guide must be used.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding “upchanneling” isn’t a word, in the very next bullet the senior NCO says;\u00a0\u201cAirmen arrive on-time to all appointment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Task & Purpose reports on this<\/a> and notes other errors;<\/p>\n

Besides that error, the letter also has a few misplaced apostrophes, such as \u201cmost likely scenario\u2019s that may take place,\u201d and two instances of \u201cLOE\u2019s,\u201d where it should read LOEs.<\/p>\n

Other errors include \u201cWhen it doubt, ask,\u201d and \u201csee my personally,\u201d and a few instances where the subject does not agree with its pronoun or indefinite article. For example, the senior master sergeant wrote \u201can airmen\u201d where it should read \u201can airman,\u201d since airman is singular and airmen is plural.<\/p>\n

In the next sentence, the senior master sergeant writes \u201cthat airmen\u201d where it should either read \u201cthose airmen\u201d or that airman\u201d depending on whether the senior master sergeant wants the subject to be singular or plural. It\u2019s unclear based on the way the sentence is written now.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

\u201cAirmen only know what they see occur on flight, peer input, and technical training,\u201d the senior master sergeant wrote. \u201cAn Airmen [sic] who is not competent or excellent at their corresponding level of knowledge of their post \u2026 is a direct reflection of their chain of command.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can’t make this up.<\/p>\n
