LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION (LOR) (See sample below) Between three and five LORs are required. LORs should be addressed to the Air Force Officer Selection Board. LORs add to the “whole person” concept – The best person to write an LOR is one who has a working knowledge of the applicant attesting to the applicant’s character, morals, standards, and potential (I.e. former employers, pastors, college professors, etc.).

Individuals writing an LOR should state their relationship to the applicant and use specific examples they have
