Active Duty Operational Support Opportunities
Advertised Through Tour of Duty

I strongly recommend [Rank Last Name] for selection for active-duty operational support opportunities advertised through Tour of Duty. [He/She] is a capable and dependable Information Technology Specialist whose technical competence, sound judgment, and commitment to mission accomplishment would make [him/her] a valuable addition to any organization requiring communications, network, cybersecurity, or information systems support.

During [his/her] service with [unit or organization], [Rank Last Name] has consistently demonstrated the ability to perform effectively in positions requiring technical proficiency, attention to detail, accountability, and independent judgment. [He/She] understands the importance of maintaining secure and reliable communications systems, protecting sensitive information, following established policies and procedures, and promptly identifying and resolving technical or operational issues. [His/Her] disciplined approach is particularly well suited for assignments involving network operations, information assurance, communications security, equipment or account management, and support to joint or geographically dispersed organizations.

[Rank Last Name] is a trusted and adaptable Noncommissioned Officer who works effectively both independently and as a member of a team. [He/She] communicates clearly with leaders, technical personnel, customers, and supported organizations; manages competing requirements responsibly; and remains composed when operating under time constraints or in demanding environments.

Based on [his/her] professional experience and demonstrated potential, I am confident that [Rank Last Name] can quickly integrate into a new organization and contribute to its mission. [His/Her] background is relevant to positions involving network systems security, cybersecurity compliance, risk mitigation, communications security, technical support, and the accountability of sensitive communications equipment and material. These qualities make [him/her] especially well suited for duties supporting joint commands and overseas missions, including the J61 Network Systems Security position with U.S. Army Element, Pacific Command Headquarters and the COMSEC Custodian position with Joint Task Force-Bravo.
