Sample 1 Wrong 9:30 a.m. Correct nine thirty in the morning 11) For reports and letters to inform, time abbreviation must be used. Thus, 9:30 a.m. is acceptable. 12) Use the third person in writing letters to higher offices. Thus, be consistent and do not use your, which is a second person pronoun. For equal and lower offices, the use of second person is appropriate. 13) Use the active tense in writing. The use of passive tense must be limited for emphasis and styling. 14) Use correct outline format. Start with “1.”, “a.”, “1)”, “a)”, “(1)”, “(a)” and so forth.

Avoid using bullets in letters. c) Use semi-colon to separate items that are not in sentence form. However, use period for items in sentence form. Do not use both in one list of enumeration. d) When enumerating adjectives, there should be order. It should be in the order of number, quality, size, age, color, origin, and type. e) When enumerating data, start from the biggest item or the most important data. 16) Acronyms and Abbreviations. No acronym must be used until its complete form has been presented earlier followed by the acronym enclosed in parenthesis. a) There is no need to put an acronym enclosed in parenthesis after the complete form if the acronym will not be used in the succeeding parts of the letter. b) Likewise, do not use the complete form after an acronym is used. A common error in consistency is the interchanging use of the complete form and acronym throughout the letter. 17) Data, numbers in particular, must be in table form. If there are numerous names to present, place them in a table. If too lengthy or there are several information to be presented, put the data sheet as an annex or attachment. However, indicate that there is such an attachment after the sentence it was intended to support. Enclose it in parentheses; however, if it is written in complete sentence, there is no need for parenthesis. 18) Officer names mentioned in the body must be in bold text. In case there are many names mentioned in the body, put only in bold text the most senior officer. This rule does not apply to names placed inside tables. 19) The numbers 1 to 10 must be spelled-out while the number 11 and above are written in numeric form. Wrong:  There are 9 vehicles.  There are twenty-one vehicles.  There are twenty-one (21) vehicles.  Military nurses shift on a 12 hour basis.

Also, when combined with two or more words to form a compound adjective in front of a noun, put hyphens between these words. Wrong:  Twenty one  12 hour shifts Correct:  Twenty-one  12-hour shifts 21) On terminologies, do not use strong or offensive words when writing to the President, tone should always be in a humble mode for example request approval and recommend approval. Be diplomatic in tone. 22) Be careful on diction or choice of words. 23) Standard Closing Sentence a) I hope this information merits the appreciation of the President (or the Secretary). b) I hope this recommendation merits the consideration and approval of the President (or the Secretary). c) I hope this merits the favorable consideration of the President (or the Secretary). d) I hope this merits the appreciation of the President (or the Secretary). e) If submitting a letter or report: I hope this report merits the appreciation of the President (or the Secretary). e Closing or Complimentary Close 1) For the President a) General Rule: A-F-P Core Values: Honor, Service, Patriotism 74 74 A-F-P Core Values: Honor, Service, Patriotism.

Wrong spacing between words and punctuation marks results to erroneous justification. e Closing or Complimentary Close 1) For the President a) General Rule:  Respectfully, (formal; official)  Faithfully yours, (informal; official)  Very respectfully, (private individuals) b) Coordinated Military Usage  Very respectfully yours, Sentence Case, Bookman Old Style, Size 12, Regular letters 2) For the Secretary of National Defense Note the use of comma a) General Rule:  Very truly yours, (formal)  Sincerely yours, (informal) b) Coordinated Military Usage Sentence Case, Bookman Old Style, Size 12, Regular letters  Very truly yours, Note the use of comma g Signature Block (Line) 1) The name of the Chief of Staff is in bold text. Under it is the rank “General” and “AFP”, which are in regular text. 2) The common mistake is the putting the position “Chief of Staff” for letters using the letterhead of the Chief of Staff, Office of the Chief of Staff and the A-F-P--. As a rule, this is not done because it becomes redundant. As head of the office, the Chief need not put the position under his/her name. Likewise, a personal letterhead cannot be used by any other person. 3. ON substance a Military correspondence must be accurate and concise. 1) Accuracy pertains to the correctness of data and message. Thus, data and facts must be complete, exact and correct. Spelling of words, names and titles must be accurate. Accuracy includes being A-F-P Core Values: Honor, Service, Patriotism 75.

Always consider the flow of thought. It must be coherent, consistent and valid. It starts with the need; reasons, justifications, elaborations and data flow; and it closes with a concluding statement for the required action of the recipient. 1) The paragraph sequence must have logical order. a) The first paragraph should contain the core or purpose of the letter. Placed upfront, the letter recipient clearly understands at the onset, what the letter is for and the consequent action required. b) The second and succeeding paragraphs should contain the supporting information. (1) The second paragraph normally contains the backgrounder. However, if a background and overview is not necessary then don’t put one. (2) The supporting paragraphs shouldn’t be too detailed. Complete details can be included through an attachment. c) Include a concluding paragraph especially if the letter intent is for approval. 2) The arrangement of sentences in a paragraph must also be in logical sequence. a) The thesis sentence is preferably placed at the start of the paragraph or the first sentence. b) Ensure that the ideas presented are not repeated in other paragraphs. c) Complex sentences should be structured in such a way that clauses are lumped according to the flow of thoughts. d) Make sure that the letter is substantive. (1) Do not state the obvious as addressee is assumed to be an intellectual person. (2) Do not assume that the addressee knows the history of your subject letter.

[Audio] A-F-P Vision 2028: A World-class Armed Forces, Source of National Pride A-F-P Vision 2028: A World-class Armed Forces, Source of National Pride CHAPTER VII T-H-E doctrine OF COMPLETED STAFF work (Extracted from an order published by the Provost Marshal General on Jan 1942) 1. Completed Staff Work is the study of a problem, and presentation of a solution, by a Staff Officer, in such form, that all that remains to be done on the part of the Head of the Staff Division, or the Commander, is to indicate his/her approval or disapproval of the completed action. The words “completed action” are emphasized because the more difficult the problem is, the more the tendency is to present the problem to the Chief in a piecemeal fashion. It is your duty as a Staff Officer to work out the details. You should not consult your Chief in the determination of those details, no matter how perplexing they may be. You may and should consult other Staff Officers. The product whether it involves the pronouncement of a new policy or affects an established one, should, when presented to the Chief for approval or disapproval, be worked out in finished form. 2. The impulse which often comes to the inexperienced Staff Officer to ask the Chief what to do, recurs more often when the problem is difficult. It is accompanied by a feeling of mental frustration. It is so easy to ask the Chief what to do, and it appears so easy for him/her to answer. Resist the impulse. You will succumb to it only if you do not know your job. It is your job to advise your Chief what s/he ought to do, not to ask him/her what you ought to do. S/He needs answers, not questions. Your job is to study, write, restudy and rewrite until you have evolved a single proposed action. .. the best one of all you have considered. Your Chief merely approves or disapproves. 3. Do not worry your Chief with long explanations and memoranda. Writing memoranda to your Chief does not constitute completed staff work, but writing memoranda for your Chief to send to someone else does. Your views should be placed before him/her in finished form so that s/he can make them his/her views simply by signing his/her name. In most instances, completed staff work results in a single document prepared for the signature of the Chief, without accompanying comment. If the proper result is reached, the Chief will usually recognize it at once, if s/he wants to comments or have explanation, s/he will ask for it. 4. The theory of completed staff work does not preclude a rough draft but rough draft must not be a half-baked idea. It must be complete in every aspect except that it lacks the requisite number of copies and need not be neat. But a rough draft must not be used as an excuse for shifting to the Chief the burden of formulating the action. 5. The completed staff work theory may result in more work for the Staff Officer, but it results in more freedom for the Chief. This is as it should be. Further, it accomplishes two (2) things:.
