The Tongue and Quill
Abstract
The Tongue and Quill is dedicated to every man and woman in today's twenty-first century Air Force who will ever sling ink at paper, pound a keyboard, give a briefing, or staff a package to support the mission. Currently, The Tongue and Quill is widely used by Air Force military and civilian numbers, professional military school educators and students, and civilian corporations around the United States. This handbook together with AFM 33-326, Preparing Official Communications, will provide the necessary information to ensure clear communications written or spoken. This revision was accomplished by using the Microsoft Word 6.0 desktop publishing system. It merged portions of AFI 37-160, Volume 5, and deletes copyrighted cartoons, quotes and art. It also adds quotes, art, editing word lists, parts of speech, computer layout and design, wordsmithing marks, stages of a meeting, Federal Government resume, display dot, punctuation rules, capitalization rules, number rules, phonetic alphabet, computer citations, copyright details and reference abbreviations. Finally, it modifies military briefings to discuss meetings in general; expands draft and edit, message, resume, mechanics of writing and research; and updates research sources, active listening and phone machines.
