Rebuttal to LOR for PT Failure

Responding to a Letter of Reprimand

SUBJECT: Letter of Reprimand Response, TSgt Daniel L. Williams

To whom it may concern,

I am TSgt Daniel Williams, a Specialist assistant NCOIC, and I would like to address the LOR I received for my third consecutive PT failure.

I would like to express my gratitude to both my Commander and First Sergeant for allowing me this opportunity to respond. I would like to first state that I fully understand the importance of adhering to Air Force standards. They are necessary and absolute. There is no excuse for failing to meet the fitness standard so many times. Because of my failure, I will not be able to effectively hold my Airmen to Air Force Standards and that is completely unacceptable to me.

I love being in the military. It has been my life for the past 14 years and I feel that I have served honorably. The military has afforded me many opportunities and taught me various skills. I have had the distinct pleasure of serving under strong leaders and their mentorship has better prepared me for life in all aspects. I am grateful for all that the Air Force has provided for me.

Once again I would like to express my gratitude to my supervision for affording me this opportunity to respond.

Sincerely,

TSgt Daniel L. Williams
