Bullet Background Paper

[Freshmen]

Drill Dogs,

A few of you need to turn in your BBP's. It is worth 10% of your final
grade. Do the math. The following cadets need to turn these in by COB
13 Wed into the WG/CC box:

Barry
Carter
Dayhuff
Gardner
Mortimer
Nelson
Quinlon
Recanzone
Smith
Welborn


Have a good day and good luck on finals.

Fellow cadets, here is my bullet background paper for you to look at to compare the formatting if you have not already turned yours in.

 

Things to remember:

Ensure that the first hyphen of a sub-point in inline with the first letter of the line above
 

All bullets should be a single dash (-)

 

Should end with

C/ 4C Erekson/AFROTC/Det 855/(443)848-3836/jse/23 Mar 11

but with your information.

If you need more help contact your teammates or google bullet background paper examples. I found many good examples there.

 

Best of luck,

C/ 4C Erekson

Not all bullets are a single dash.  All of your main points are single dashes.  Sub-points are two dashes and sub-points of the sub-points (aren't used often) are three dashes.

There should be more than one main points.

For example if I read Harry Potter, I might have the following main points

1  He is a wizard
2  His friends are important to his success
3  His enemy is Voldermort

my sub-points might be:
sub 1  he displayed magical powers from an early age
sub 2  Hermoine and Ron helped him defeat Prof. Squirrel
sub 3  Voldermort killed his parents

a sub-sub-point might be
sub-sub 1  he made glass disappear at the zoo

Follow the example found in the tongue and quill

I hope that this helps.

Also, don't repeat your main point in your first sub-point.  This isn't an outline for a paper that you're going to write.  It is a one-page document that touches upon all of the main points of a much larger document.  I don't have time to read all of the books that you read.  The purpose of you writing the BBP is to give me a summary of the highlights so I can get what the article or book was talking about without having to read it.  Write your BBP with that in mind.
