What are some good things to do for bullets

I’m a Senior Airman, I’m not trying to give excuses it a lot of family issues has happened this year. Which left me with not a lot of time outside of work. Usually I’d have college courses and a bunch of volunteer work. I have always had nothing less then straight 5’s on my last two epr’s. My senior and leadership is away of the year. But is there any suggestions what may help. I’m a crew chief and this year I’ve been in support(CTK). So I’ll be rated as Support. Any help is most appreciated.

How to frame this bullet

I'm trying to frame this bullet as I was by name requested to fill a technical function. I was previously hand selected to move to another section and fix their hurts. I have used hand-selected, and want to know if there is any way to frame " By name requested " as the starter? Any tips or advice is appreciated.

Question about “push,” “pull,” “deliberate,” and “descriptive” bullets

I’m preparing a brief for joint forces on the recommended structure of a EPR.

While going over this post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AirForceBulletWriter/comments/j15kdb/epr_recommended_layout_af_910_ver_2_incorporating/

I have a general idea of what descriptive bullets are from CMSgt Lee’s stripes book. But the others are still confusing to me.

Push seems to be talking about what teams you lead and their success. Pull seems to be about how you supported higher ups. But when I see examples of either it doesn’t line up quite right.

Same thing about deliberate and descriptive I’m not quite understanding the difference.

I have a bullet that seems too big to easily communicate what happened...

The STORY behind the bullet:

So, the guy learned that aircrew members who flew and were exposed to COVID during the complete GOV stop-movement of aircraft were eligible for medals. Specifically, the Armed Forces Service Medal and the Humanitarian Service Medal, depending on the missions they flew during that time frame.

He gathered the mission data and names (2.5K data points), and put together two MFRs (one for each medal type) containing all of it, then routed that up for Wg/CC signature.

359 service medals were awarded due to this.

The BULLET and it's evolution:

I wrote the bullet's first draft, and was told it had too many acronyms in it, and was hard to read/follow, which was true.

Here is the bullet I wrote after that, but people reading it asked "um, how did 2 MFRs do that? I don't understand how the action correlates to the impact"

- Led wg-lvl recognition proj; merged 2.5K items & prep'd/routed 2 MFRs f/CC coord--359 svc medals awd'd to Amn!

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

2A6X1 EPR Examples.

My twin sister is 2A6X1 and their bullet writing resources are absolutely trash. Lot's of gate keeping married to a lack of free time to devote to perfecting the craft. Anyone willing to share some examples of their own Aerospace Propulsion 7 level EPRs? Maybe we get a little "sowing circle" going?

Order of bullets on 1206

I’m trying to figure out if there’s an “unwritten” order to 1206 bullets like with EPRs. Example: big impact/award bullets go on the back of the EPR. Is there a better/best place to put them in the stack on a 1206?

Help with an innovation bullet

I am in need of some help as I am creating a bullet in regards to streamlining the project management aspect of my job as a religious affairs airmen. By gaining access to a door dash business account I can reduce the amount of redundant time spent in the logistics process of getting food and uplift items to our airmen while maintaining social distancing during CV-19. We can create even more Spiritual uplift events this way with the time we save. We are able to bolster our Spiritual resiliency lessons since we don't have to focus on logistics as much. I'm not sure how to fully capture this bullet.

2nd State of the Subreddit (03 October 2020)

Hello all and welcome if you're new,

We are still a relatively new subreddit that just passed the 2 month anniversary. I feel like the framework of the site is nearly complete with more value added guidance to be added as the months progress.

The subreddit saw 2.7K unique hits, 9.2K pageviews and almost 300 members joined for the month of September. Which percentage wise is a 1000% increase in traffic, 3400% increase in unique hits and a 5300% increase in membership.

I count about 54 references in the Access Center, 107 links & 29 posts. MS Teams Access Center is up, let me know if you have any access issues with any links or documents. Top voted posts were the Master Post for EPR Writing, Recommended EPR Layout Forms & Verb Cheat Sheets.

Goals for October:

  • Finish uploading EPR/Dec Layouts
  • Awards Templates
  • Awards Schedule
  • SNCO Board Charge
  • Analysis of SNCO promotion board needs/wants
  • More EPR/Writing Guides

Future Content Ideas: (November?)

  • EPR & Bullet Writing "Cheat Sheet" or quick reference guide
  • List of common abbreviations & Air Force Acronyms
  • Analysis of common verb usage & psychological strength (Attention Grabbing)
  • Verb Whirl v.2

I'm open to suggestions, feedback and additional guidance if you have any. Please post below or e-mail me at AirForceBulletWriter@gmail.com
