What is a necessary component of nomination packages for certain awards?

A completed AF IMT 1038, Food Service Evaluation Record/ AF Form 1206 is essential in nomination packages for certain awards, particularly those related to food service within the USAF. This form provides a structured format for detailing accomplishments, performance metrics, and contributions specific to food service operations. The comprehensive evaluation it offers is beneficial for award boards to assess a nominee's qualifications based on standardized criteria.

Other elements, such as service record summaries, personal statements, and recommendation letters, may complement a nomination but do not replace the specific requirements outlined for certain awards. In particular, the AF IMT 1038 is tailored to illustrate the operational impacts and quality of service achieved, which is pivotal in the evaluation process for recognition in this field.
