Service Paper Writing
Gone are the days when people were attracted to military profession
quite easily. The dignity and honour offered by the career created
magnetic attraction for the young generation in the past. The
opportunity of dedication, self sacrifice and contribution to
nation added priceless intangible values to military profession
unparallel to non-military careers. But for numerous reasons,
military career these days is unable to attract talented young
people. This is the global scenario. Bangladesh Armed Forces is no
exception to this. Apparently, it seems that bright and talented
young generation is no longer interested to choose military as
their career.
In this backdrop, discuss how Bangladesh Armed Forces should attract the young generation to the military profession.

Major Arguments
Service Paper Writing
Young Generation and Military : Attracting Them
*
Service Paper Writing
Should be extracted from the aim
Should be as short as possible while remaining specific but meaningful, complete
Example of possible titles:
Attracting Young Generation for the Military : A Way Ahead
New Approach to Attract the Young Generation in the
Military
*
Introduction Should introduce the subject / problem and be able to capture the readers attention
Should give out limitations of the paper
The last paragraph normally describes the scope of the paper (major areas of discussion)
Should neither pre-empt discussion nor anticipate conclusions.
Not >10% of paper
Service Paper Writing
*
Aim
A clear statement of the purpose of the paper
Decide on the title from the aim
Service Paper Writing
*
Discussion / TextSubstance of the paper. Contain relevant facts and arguments
Structure planned down to main and group headings and then down to paragraphs. 3-4 main arguments are enough in a short paper
Analysis and arguments from different angles are important
Statistical tables, calculations etc in annexs
Service Paper Writing
*
Conclusion (s)
Distillation of the whole discussion section
Consistent with the arguments and facts stated in the body of the paper- no new arguments
Should be between 15-20% of the paper
A busy reader makes sense by reading only introduction, aim,
conclusion and recommendations
Service Paper Writing
*
Conclusion (s)
Concluding does not mean computer generated shortened portion of the text-it is to summarize each argument
If there are 3-4 main arguments, the conclusion may have 3-4
paragraphs
Service Paper Writing
*
Structuring Conclusion (s)
1st Paragraph:
Begins with a crisp summary of introduction and purpose of the paper
Then it addresses the essence of arguments under 1st group heading
2nd Paragraph:Addresses the essence of the arguments under 2nd
group heading.and so on
Service Paper Writing
*
Recommendation (s)Clear, unambiguous and emerge logically from the conclusion
Should normally be crisp statement of actions required to be taken
Recommendations should be steps beyond the remedial measures
Difficult to accommodate recommendations for a short paper
Service Paper Writing
*
Solution vis a vis Recommendations-Example:
Solution:Print and electronic media to be used extensively to reach out to the target group/ mass population
Recommendation:A Board of Officers may be formed to work out the
modalities of reaching out to the young generation through print
and electronic media
Service Paper Writing
*
Incoherent structure / framework
Inconsistent flow of arguments
Incorrect spelling, grammatical error
Lack of balance or objectivityUse of abbreviationUse of first personLong sentence and lack of transitionSyntax error
Poor style and weak expression
Use of paragraph heading as part of sentence
Service Paper Writing
*
Syntax Error:
Syntax is a crucial element of clear communication in any language
Rules regarding spelling, sentence structure, word placement and punctuation help to convey ideas and make the intended meaning clear
Service Paper Writing
*
Syntax Error- Example :
A commanding officer, who is in his 18th year of service, is considered to be the most experienced man in the unit
A commanding officer, is considered to be the most experienced
man in the unit, who is in his 18th year of service
Service Paper Writing
*
Poor Style and Weak Expression- Example :
Spouse of an officer is an important element of his professional life
An officers spouse/ wife/ life partner plays an important role
in his professional life
Service Paper Writing
*
Use of Paragraph Heading as Part of Sentence- Example
Mutual Respect and Sacrifice. A need that has to be self developed.
Mutual Respect and Sacrifice. Officers need to develop mutual
respect amongst themselves and sacrifice for each other in times of
need.
