How Did I Do It?

By Ch, Capt Jamie Martin

How did I receive orders to attend the Women United in Ministry Conference? I asked and here is exactly what I said to my Wing Chaplain and my Vice Commander with a courtesy copy to Ch Elaine Henderson and my Wing Commander.

Good Day Sir,

I am requesting attendance at the Women's Ministry Conference for Air Force Chaplains 10-13 Nov 08. After just completing the ORE and with the upcoming ORI, I hope that you and the commanders can see the need for me to be cared for in this way and have this networking and mentoring opportunity with senior leaders (present and retired). It is being held in New Braunfels, Texas, which is 33 miles from San Antonio. I am requesting to use 4 AT days.
Please respond to my personal email as well, if approved, I must contact the POC, Ch, Col, Sharon Freeto, USAF Retired -- NOW AT 830-613-1007. E-mail:
belongashabi@texas-skies.com as soon as possible. Please do not hesitate to contact Ch Henderson from Springfield Air National Guard base below for further information.
