Letters of Recommendation
Hi Everyone!
I am in the process of applying to several Guard/Reserve Squadrons and Active Duty through a recruiter. I found guidance as to the content for the letters of recommendation (LOC), however, my commander is wondering to whom he should address his LOC to. If I am planning on using it for different squadrons and my AD application package, to whom should it be address? I know it seems like such a silly question but I want to set myself for success in every which way. Thanks in advance!

Hey Nell! When I wrote my letters I had several that were addressed differently depending on the board I was applying for. Guard and reserve were addressed to NGB/AFRC but also specifically to the unit I was rushing and/or applying towards. My Group CC addressed it to “Air Force Officer Selection Board”. For AD, I’d probably address “UFT Board #xxxx Board” or something similar to that. I didn’t apply AD so I can’t really talk to it, but as a successful Reserve UPT Select that’s what I did when I started applying and rushing squadrons. Here’s a few options, I hope it helps! Good luck!

@Nell , I always recommend you try and get your letters sent to you in an editable format for this reason specifically. It’s hard enough to get someone to write you a solid LOR. You don’t want to have to keep bugging them to change something for every board.
