Signature block training record

hey guys so I wanted to make this video to help out anybody who's interested in writing an army memo according to a our 25-50 and this is something that I've had to do for my officer cannon school program so I use this demo that one of my fellow candidates wrote and I helped edit so we'll just get right into it so one thing that you can do is look at the grid lines in order to make sure that the seal is lined up appropriately and at rikiya that I learned is to get this block of the header centered so how you do that is you go to find it yet parrot is you want to position this either behind or in front of the text if you square it then it's going to be off centered so you want to make sure that it's like that and to get rid of the gridlines you just go back to view and check that box they're out they're off another thing you want to look for is their margins they have to be one inch all around okay I am going to have am going to have AR 25-50 handy so I could use it as a reference now one thing about the co I will say one thing I will say according to AR 25-50 the seal is slightly to the left of the margins but I know our our company commander he wanted the seal to be aligned to the one-inch margin so that's how we're doing it so I drew the seal you want to have one space in between here and you want to go to the home to make sure there's no extra spaces all right that looks good that looks good so here's where the office symbol would go and the date is on the same line the one thing of what the data has to be it has to be flushed to the right margin so quick way to check after the office symbol you want to leave two spaces and then you want to write the address you want to leave two spaces and then start typing your memorandum for where we're gonna be addressed to after the address you want to leave one space use the subject line and here remember that after colon you want to leave two spaces then after a subject line you're going to leave two spaces again and then start writing the body of the memo and again you want to make sure that there are two spaces here we've got a period so make sure the period is there and also after the one there should be two spaces so as a rule anytime you have a period of : question mark those type of those type of markings both sorry those type of punctuation so then you want to make sure there's two spaces after the punctuation okay same here two spaces okay all right and this part was the biggest hurdle is because we knew auto ended or you use words Microsoft words how to indent in format it's not going to adjust it correctly so for this it needs to be one quarter of an inch so after the first subparagraph I'm sorry after so so here when the paragraph is subdivided the first subparagraph needs to be one quarter of an inch away from the margin so here you can tell that this candidate used Microsoft auto format and it is not a quarter is actually half an inch away so we have to redo it and the trick that I learned is that you just have to do it manually you have to ignore the auto formatting so you just got to do a manual so a double spaced is double spaced go up top here and then tap same thing here for the second subdivision of the second subparagraph you have to do it manually so one two spaces and the second subdivision is half an inch so the first subdivision is a quarter of an inch second subdivision is half an inch set your pace or whatever this is called and then hit tab to for its indent same thing here leave two spaces make sure that's all aligned and tab we're going to do this all the way through and one of the reasons or another reason why you want to do this is because when the text wraps around it needs to wrap it needs to wrap flushed with the left margin so you see here you see here how Microsoft Word indents the following sentence of the following line and that's not according to standard so that's why we have to do it manually because if you go with the word first off words format it's not going to do it right so this is correct this is not correct okay all right see how this is an extra space here the way you get rid of that is by going to the spacing and you want to remove the space after the paragraph all right so you get the point I want all right so this is section B so we have to read you this one I and Section B is only going to be a quarter of an inch all right we'll keep these paragraphs together we're going to insert a page break and for the start of your second page you need to include the symbol you're off a symbol and the subject line but again you have to make sure that this is flush don't create a header for the second page because it needs to be one inch from the margins and again here after the colon it needs to be two spaces same thing again here the indentation is too far and the word wrap is not accurate so it's a redo this two spaces go to your ruler tap over okay so you guys get the point okay so coming back here at least this needs to be half an inch B half an inch and after on your second page you need two spaces after the subject line okay and again we on the third subdivision you do not go beyond half an inch all right so now if you recall this part is actually C and C is one quarter of an inch double check make sure that lines make sure all that aligns okay now we have to align these subdivisions okay all right you get the point and here if you want to write an authority line which you don't really have to but you can if you want alright notice that spacing is wrong so you have to come back here and [Music] you have to remove the space after the paragraph okay no it's there so after the authority line it's going to be five spaces until you start writing your signature block so one two three four five so notice that this is wrong so one two three four five okay and the signature block needs to be flushed with the page number notice on the first page you don't have to write the page number on the second page and subsequent pages you actually do so to get this flushed is going to be just delete or use backspace to go back there's going to be three and a quarter and you can see that right same thing three and a quarter okay go back and double-check one two three four five perfect and again this needs to be aligned with the page number and one other trick was for the page number not to appear in the first page you have to go to the footer and you want to check off or check different first page so if I were to check that off you would see the page number but if I check it on then you're not going to see the first page number and that's the trick for that okay I hope you found this useful any questions leave a comment below thank you
