Section B:
General Information
5. GENERAL INFORMATION:
a. The evaluations process has transformed into an online application under the virtual
Personnel Center (vPC) construct. Under this enhanced construct, the Commander Support
Staff (CSS) representative will initiate the evaluations processing by reviewing a notice
provided within vPC on Airmen requiring the completion of an evaluation. After the CSS
representatives/Unit Evaluation Monitors (ANG Only) validation of the applicable evaluation
form, Performance Report (PR) Shell information, they will forward the evaluation
electronically to the rater for action. The rater will verify the request/action, prepare the
evaluation on the attachment applicable form, and coordinate with the applicable coordinators
for review, signatures, and completion.
b. The final document will be submitted to the myPers - TFSC through the vPC evaluations
application for final update action in the Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) and file in
the Airmans electronic records.
c. The vPC process places the majority of the responsibility to prepare and coordinate the
evaluation on the Rater and reduces or eliminates the Military Personnel Section
(MPS)/CSS/Unit Evaluation Monitors personnel related action(s) after the initial
notification/initiation step.
d. Digital Signatures. Digital signature will be used in the vPC evaluations process, except in
the following cases: a Referral evaluation report, at least one evaluator does not have a
Common Access Card (CAC) or at least one evaluator does not have access to a CAC-enabled
computer. In these cases, the evaluation will be printed out and hand signed (wet signed) with
handwritten dates. Additionally, once a digital signature has been applied, it cannot be deleted.
NOTE: Digital signatures are not authorized for referral evaluation reports.
e. Wet Signatures. An original signature is now referred to as a wet signature (e.g., wet ink),
as opposed to a digital or electronically printed, or dry, signature.
ARC (Air Reserve Component) The Reserve and Air National Guard together form the
ARC. If an evaluation requires wet signatures and dates, it must be endorsed by the CSS or
designated Unit Evaluation Monitor as a Certified True Copy according to AFI 36-2406,
and instructions within this guide, electronically scanned, uploaded, and forwarded via the
vPC Evaluations application to myPers


Page: 4 of 105
f. CSS Technician or Unit Evaluations Monitor (ANG Only). The unit evaluations monitor
will provide assistance to the rater in completing coordination of wet signature evaluation
reports. Wet signature evaluations must be scanned and uploaded by the rater, then forwarded
to the myPers - TFSC through the vPC Evaluations application for processing. Recommended
tips and settings include:
Scan evaluations to a single PDF file (not to exceed 918 KB)
Recommended settings of black and white (no color), medium output quality, and 300
dpi
Always check for legibility illegible evaluations (e.g., poor quality caused by scanning
and/or reprographics) will be returned to the rater
g. Certified True Copy Endorsement. When making a Certified True Copy enter the
statement, Certified True Copy along with the certifying officials grade, name, signature,
duty title, unit and the date on the front left margin of the evaluation and all attached
documents.
h. Attaching AF Form 77, Letter of Evaluation, as a continuation page. Raters who do not
concur with a previous evaluators comments or ratings, or Functional Examiners/Air Force
(AF) Advisors and wish to add comments may submit their comments on an AF Form 77. In
the case where digital signatures are used on the evaluation, the AF Form 77 will be prepared,
signed with a wet signature, scanned, saved in PDF format, and electronically forwarded along
with the electronic evaluation.
i. Time Sensitive EPR/OPRs. If a time sensitive EPR/OPR is required for immediate
update,forward the EPR/OPR via vPC. The rater or designated representative will forward an email with the vPC Evaluation Request Identification (ID) number along with the members name
and closeout date of the EPR/OPR to:
ARC tfsc@mailds01.csd.disa.mil. Do not attach the EPR/OPR to the e-mail
j. EPR/OPRs Missing from Members Records (ARC only). Evaluations (other than current
EPR/OPR) missing from records and being sent for processing to the myPers - TFSC must be
endorsed Certified True Copy by the designated representative before the EPR/OPR can be
added to the record.
k. Referral Evaluation Reports. Refer to AFI 36-2406, Paragraph 1.10.
l. ANG Only. In accordance with (IAW) NGB/A1 policy the FSS/MPS acts only as the
Advisor for the vPC evaluations process. The servicing MPS will NOT process evaluations
on behalf of the rater, coordinators, or ratee. All participants in the vPC evaluation process will
follow NGB/A1 policy as contained within this guide. Deviations from this guide are not
permitted. The servicing ANG FSS/MPS will not circumvent any steps/processes within the
vPC evaluations application.


Page: 5 of 105
NOTE: When necessary, the base role administrator may reassign a role after no action has
been taken on the evaluation after 45 calendar days within vPC evaluation application for
completion of an evaluation when required such as separation, retirement, etc., of the Rater,
Additional Rater, or Commander (Other Coordinators).
TIPS. To provide further assistance on processing an evaluation in vPC Dashboard, we are
providing the following tips:
If the evaluation is incorrect, go to Previous Coordinations section and select the
coordination from the Rater in the first review process to highlight. In the Previous
OPR/EPR Attachment field, the form that is listed will be the initial form without
signatures. You will be able to save this to your desktop, make corrections, and submit it
back to the rater for review/signatures again. Enter applicable remarks in the Your
Coordination section, Coordination Remarks field indicating what changes you made
If an evaluation needs to be submitted to the myPers - TFSC and does not require
coordination, the rater can upload the form to the application and submit it to one individual
coordinator to have them submit it back to them. The rater will then have the Send to
TFSC button available and can submit the request without having to do several
coordination actions for review and signatures
If a form is incorrect and digitally signed, the form does not have to be reaccomplished.
All that needs to take place is go to the Previous Coordination field and for each
coordination when highlighted, the form that was uploaded at that specific time will be in the
Additional Attachments field. The Rater/Coordinator would simply need to highlight the
coordination in which the form had not been signed yet, make changes, save the new
corrected, and send through the coordination process again
m. FOR CSS ONLY Cancel Button Capability:
If the auto notification/information in the vPC Dashboard Worklist tab is incorrect, you
have the option to Cancel the action
Caution should be exercised, the Cancel button should not be used by anyone other
than the Initiator CSS/Monitor, using this button completely cancels out the application,
and access will no longer be available
ANG Only. Even though the link is available to the Rater, a notice is posted in the Job
Aid Evaluations (Rater Roles) the Rater not to use this link
n. ARC PSD Guide Changes:
Procedural Changes: Commander Support Staff (CSS) technician or Unit Evaluation
Monitor (ANG Only) will receive an evaluation notice through vPC Dashboard. This
notice will contain a link within the Worklist tab to a Performance Report (PR) Shell
and the applicable AF Form based on the Airmans grade. The information will be
validated, the applicable rater identified and the evaluation processing request will be
forwarded via the vPC Dashboard

Page: 6 of 105
The servicing Force Support Squadron (FSS)/Military Personnel Section (MPS) will
no longer upload the appropriate AF Form/PR shell into the vPC evaluations application,
and forward to any raters. The responsibility now belongs to the CSS/Unit Evaluation
Monitor (ANG Only)
The rater will select from the Next Coordination dropdown menu Return to
Initiator versus click a single Return to MPF.
All additional coordinators will use the Role selection function in the Next
Coordination section to forward or return an evaluation versus the previous capability of
clicking either Select: Next Rater/Coordinator or Return to: Previous Coordinator.
o. Extensions Requests for Close-Out Dates. The authority to extend a closeout date for
lieutenant colonel and below is retained by: NOTE: With implementation of enlisted Static
closeout dates this will no longer be applicable to enlisted grades.
ANG/MPP for ANG personnel
HQ AFRC/A1 for USAFR unit personnel
HQ AFRC/A1 for IMA(s) and participating individual Reservists
The members assigned headquarters has authority to extend closeout dates for AGR
personnel
HQ AFRC/A1 has authority to extend closeout dates for assigned HQ AGR personnel
The National Guard Bureau General Officer Management Office (NGB-GO) for
non- EAD Air National Guard of the United States (ANGUS) general officers retains
similar authority on the AF Form 78, General Officer Promotion
Recommendation
The Air Force Colonel Matters Office (AFCMO) retains authority on
OPR(s) for colonels
p. Individual Mobilization Augementee (IMA) program. Evaluations will be processed by the IRs
RegAF unit of assignment and endorsed by the RegAF/CC.

TAB 2: Regular Air Force (RegAF)

Section E:
General Information
8. GENERAL INFORMATION:
a. The office of primary responsibility is Headquarters Air Force Personnel Center Evaluations
Branch (HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP). The evaluations process has transformed into an online
application under the virtual Personnel Center (vPC) construct. Under this enhanced construct,
the Commander Support Staff (CSS) representative will initiate the evaluations processing by
reviewing a notice provided within vPC on Airmen requiring the completion of an evaluation.
After the CSS representatives validation of the applicable evaluation form, Performance Report
(PR) Shell information, they will forward the evaluation electronically to the rater for action.
The rater will verify the request/action, prepare the evaluation on the attached applicable form,
and coordinate with the applicable coordinators for review, signatures, and completion.
b. The final document will be submitted to the local Military Personnel Section (MPS)/CSS
(when applicable) through the vPC evaluations application for final update action in the
Military Personnel Data System (MilPDS) and file in the Airmans electronic records.
c. The vPC process places the majority of the responsibility to prepare and coordinate the
evaluation on the Rater.
d. Signatures. Digital and wet signature evaluations will be processed through vPC with the
exception of Deployed CC LOEs as well as AF Form 912 Evaluations. For these evaluations,
they will continue to be processed through the Case Management System (CMS).
e. CSS Technician. The CSS Technician will provide assistance to the rater in completing
coordination of all evaluation reports.
f. Certified True Copy Endorsement. Certified True Copy endorsements are no longer required for
processing evaluations through vPC.
g. The evaluator who non-concurs with the evaluation will only attach an AF Form 77, Letter
of Evaluation, as a continuation page, if more space is required to explain the disagreement.
Raters who do not concur with a previous evaluators comments or ratings, or Functional
Examiners/Air Force (AF) Advisors and wish to add comments may submit their comments on
an AF Form 77. In the case where digital signatures are used on the evaluation, and an AF
Form 77 (supplemental sheet) is required, the AF Fm 77 will be prepared, signed with a wet
signature, scanned, saved in PDF format, and electronically forwarded along with the electronic
evaluation.


Page: 32 of 105
h. Time Sensitive EPR/OPRs. If a time sensitive EPR/OPR is required for immediate update,
forward the EPR/OPR via vPC (when report is digitally signed). The rater or designated
representative will forward an e-mail with the vPC Evaluation Request Identification (ID)
number along with the members name and closeout date of the EPR/OPR to the HQ AFPC at
evalpolicy@randolph.af.mil. Do not attach the EPR/OPR to the e-mail. NOTE: If wet
signed, mail the evaluations to AFPC/DPSIDEP.
i. EPR/OPRs Missing from Members Records. Evaluations (other than current EPR/OPR)
missing from records and being sent for processing to the HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP must be
endorsed Certified True Copy by the designated representative before the EPR/OPR can be
added to the record. NOTE: This will serve as validation from the MPS/CSS that the copy is
of the original evaluation.
j. Referral Evaluation. Referral evaluations will be processed through vPC for the enlisted
ranks of AB-SMSgt. NOTE: CMSgt Referral Evaluations will be mailed to the address listed
below for further processing and inclusion into the members electronic record.
HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP
550 C Street West, Suite 7
Randolph AFB TX 78150
NOTE: When necessary the servicing Human Resources Distributed Systems Administrator or
MPS/CSS may reassign a role after no action has been taken on the evaluation after 30 calendar
days within vPC evaluation application for completion of an evaluation when required such as
separation, retirement, etc., of the Rater, Additional Rater, or Commander (Other Coordinators).
TIPS. To provide further assistance on processing an evaluation in vPC Dashboard, the
following tips are provided:
If the evaluation is incorrect, go to Previous Coordinations section and select the
coordination from the Rater in the first review process to highlight. In the Previous
OPR/EPR Attachment field, the form that is listed will be the initial form without
signatures. You will be able to save this to your desktop, make corrections, and submit it back
to the Rater for review/signatures again. Enter applicable remarks in the Current
Coordination section, Coordination Remarks field indicating what changes you made
If an evaluation needs to be submitted to the MPS and does not require coordination, the
rater can upload the form to the application once all signature requirements have been met.
Upon completion, the Rater will submit the evaluation to the MPS by selecting Send to
TFSC/MPS/CSS from the Next Coordinations Role dropdown menu. Once received the
MPS will then update the rating of the ratee and click the Send to ARMS button to become
a matter of record.


Page: 33 of 105
If the evaluation is incorrect and the section, in question, is not digitally signed, the
evaluation does not require re-accomplishment. Instead, go to the Previous Coordination
tab and make necessary corrections in the Previous Attachment tab. The Rater/Coordinator
would highlight the coordination in which the form had not been signed, make changes, save
the new evaluation, and send through the coordination process again
k. FOR CSS ONLY Cancel Button Capability:
If the auto notification/information in the vPC Dashboard Worklist tab is incorrect, you
have the option to Cancel the action
Caution should be exercised, the Cancel button should not be used by anyone other
than the Initiator CSS/Monitor, using this button completely cancels out the application,
and access will no longer be available
l. RegAF PSD Guide Changes:
Procedural Changes: Commander Support Staff (CSS) or Military Personnel Section
(MPS) technicians will receive an evaluation notice through vPC Dashboard. This notice
will contain a link within the Worklist tab to a Performance Report (PR) Shell and the
applicable AF Form based on the Airmans grade. The information will be validated, the
applicable rater identified and the evaluation processing request will be forwarded via the
vPC Dashboard.
The servicing Military Personnel Section (MPS) will no longer upload the appropriate
AF Form/PR shell into the vPC evaluations application. The vPC evaluation application
will generate this information.
All additional coordinators will use the Role selection function in the Next Coordination section to
forward or return an evaluation versus the previous capability of clicking either Select: Next
Rater/Coordinator or Return to: Previous Coordinator.

coordination flexibility to forward the evaluation for corrections or signatures to a previous
coordinator if an error is detected or forward it directly to the MPS for further processing
If ratee refuses or is unable to sign, digitally sign the report and then forward the evaluation,
along with any additional documents (AF Form 77, and/or referral or rebuttal letters for referral
evaluation reports), to the MPS after 3 duty days has passed from the date the report was
forwarded to the ratee
Suspense a copy of the evaluation and periodically review the status of the evaluation
If the OPR/EPR requires corrections or additional information, the AFPC/DPSIDE will return
the evaluation to the rater via vPC. The rater must open the form, make changes to the evaluation
form, and then to send through coordination for signatures. Finally, ensure all corrective actions
are completed as requested by the AFPC/DPSIDE and resubmit back to the AFPC/DPSIDEP

Enlisted and Officer Performance Report Closeout Extensions
13. ENLISTED AND OFFICER PERFFORMANCE REPORT CLOSEOUT EXTENSIONS:
Evaluations document an individuals performance, promotion and special duty assignment
considerations. It is critical to ensure all evaluations are in a members record so personnel
managers are provided with current information.
The following does not replace Air Force Policy Directives (AFPD) or Air Force Instructions (AFI),
but provides the human resource professional additional tools to accomplish the mission.
NOTE: With the implementation of static close out dates for each enlisted grade,
evaluation closeout date extensions requests are no longer authorized.
Officer Performance Report extension request will not be processed through the vPC dashboard.
a. Extension of close-out dates. An extension of the close-out date must be requested if an
annual report is closed, but is not a matter of record and an incident or event occurs of a
serious significance warranting inclusion in the report. This includes completion of an
investigation occurring prior to the closeout date or confirmation of alleged behavior as of
the closeout date. NOTE: With the implementation of the Static Close-out Date, extensions
for the Enlisted Force are strictly prohibited.
The authorities to extend a closeout date for lieutenant colonel second lieutenant are retained by:
HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP for RegAF Active Duty
The Air Force Colonel Matters Office (AFCMO) retains authority on OPR for colonels
FOR OFFICERS ONLY: Grant extensions to cover only the time necessary to complete
actions, not to exceed 59 days. A commander-directed report may be prepared with 60 days
supervision in accordance with AFI 36-2406 Table 3.3., rule 4, and Table 3.7., rule 4. Send
requests for extensions, through the servicing MPS, to the appropriate office listed above for
approval in a timely manner. Include the members information, reason for the report, original
closeout date, requested closeout date, specific justification for the request and all pertinent
information (dates of investigations, etc.)
NOTE: This is the earliest period an Airman can re-test after scoring Poor on the fitness
assessment test. Use the procedures outlined in AFI 36-2406, paragraph 1.13.2., to obtain
approval. Extensions beyond this period are not allowed.
Extension requests should contain, at a minimum, the ratee's fitness test history (scores/dates)
from the Air Force Fitness Management System (AFFMS) and significant justification.


Page: 56 of 105
Provide justification to support why the case is unique i.e., profiles, AF Form 422, Physical
Profile Serial Report, deployment orders, etc. Specific medical information is not necessary, but
profile limitations (AF Form 422) are required. If the member does not have a documented
profile, in accordance with AFI 36-2905, they are eligible to test.
Extensions are not approved solely because one is requested; justification is required. If more than
42 days occur from the failure date to the close out date, include clarification as to why the
member did not retest prior to the close out date.

supervises the Airmans daily activities. The rating chain is determined by the unit possessing
the unit line number (ULN) and typically has tactical control (TACON). Raters may be in any
military service in the United States, foreign military service or a civilian in a supervisory
position and be in a grade equal to or higher than the ratee. Refer to AFI 36-2406 for specific
rater guidelines. In joint environments, an Air Force unit is designated to have Administrative
Control (ADCON) responsibilities. ADCON responsibilities, per AFDD-2, include personnel
management. With regard to evaluations and decorations, this involves managing both
programs and ensuring evaluations are accomplished on Airmen serving on Indeterminate
TDY(s) i.e., extended deployments. ADCON responsibility does not necessarily extend to
writing the evaluations on members attached to the Air Force unit for ADCON purposes.

Provide the deployed rating chain the G-Series Order # and Date for LOE preparation.
Upon receipt of final LOE from deployed rating chain, verify if AF Advisor is required and
forward to the AF Advisor if required
Provide final disposition of completed deployed CC LOEs:
a. Digitally signed LOE(s): Upload the completed LOE into the CMS evaluation
application and submit to AFPC for transmission to ARMS. For locations without
CMS access, the home station updates the AF Form 77 into CMS.
b. Wet signed (hand-signed) LOE(s): Mail the completed LOE (RegAF, Guard, and
Reserve) to AFPC/DPSIDEP. In cases where the servicing PERSCO team is not
collocated with the rater, the rater forwards the report to AFPC/DPSIDEP (or to the AF
Advisor if necessary). If in a location where there is no established system for mailing,
the ratee, rater, PERSCO or trusted agent is allowed to hand-carry the completed LOE
back to their home station. In this event, the PERSCO Team places the completed
LOE in a sealed envelope and pre-addressed to AFPC/DPSIDEP. In such cases, the
determination to allow the LOE to be hand-carried is made by the AFFOR/A1 and the
report must be in a sealed envelope pre- addressed to AFPC/DPSIDEP. Upon return
arrival to the home station, the carrier places the completed evaluation in the mail. The
address for AFPC/DPSIDEP is:
HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP
550 C Street West, Suite 7 Randolph

DEPLOYED COMMANDERS LOE(s)
This guide consolidates and provides additional guidance in processing deployed commander
LOE(s), to include the use and provisions of the newly revised AF Form 77.
Deployed Commander LOE. The Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) initiative requires the
performance of all commanders, who are on G Series orders, serving in a squadron, group or
wing commander position in the deployed environment be documented and included in the
officers permanent record.
Effective Date and Implementation. For AEF Cycle 5, Pairs 1 and 2 an LOE is mandatory for
all deployed officers (AD, Guard, Reserve) through the grade of colonel serving as commanders
for 45 days or more in support of named operations.
Deployed Commander Defined. Deployed commanders are defined as officers who occupy
squadron, group, or wing commander positions, and are appointed by G-Series orders. This
policy does not grandfather officers who served in deployed commander positions prior to the
2004, AEF Cycle 5. NOTE: For officers who PCS to a deployed location as the squadron,
group, or wing commander, a LOE is not authorized as deployed officer receive an OPR.
Additionally, those deployed on a 365-day tour are not authorized a deployed CC LOE. Deployed
individuals receive an AF Form 707, Officer Performance Report, completed in accordance with
AFI36-2406, para 5.5.


Page: 66 of 105
AF Form 77, Letter of Evaluation. The AF Form 77, Letter of Evaluation, is dated of 12 Feb
9.
Optional LOEs closing on and after the effective date must also be on the new version. All
deployed CC LOEs completed under this new policy must be completed on the new version of
the AF Form 77, effective with all LOEs with a close out date of 1 April 2009 and on.
Deployed Commander LOE Specifics. The AF Form 77 is a multi-purpose form with mandatory
areas required for deployed commanders. Processing of all other LOE(s) remains unchanged.
Mandatory Deployed Commander LOE. File in the Officer Selection Record for officers
through the grade of colonel deployed for 45 days or more in support of named operations and on
G-Series orders in a squadron, group, or wing commander position.
Optional Deployed Commander LOE. If a commanders position was filled for less than 45 days,
the LOE is optional and is not filed in the Officer Selection Record (OSR).
NOTE: A completed deployed Commander LOE does not restart the OPR clock regardless of
the TDY tour length; they are considered embedded reports. There is no minimum number of
days supervision required--the requirement is based upon the number of days the officer served
in the commander position (a minimum 45 consecutive days).
Referral Deployed Commander LOE. A negative assessment or negative comments make the
LOE a referral and require additional rater comments. If the evaluation is a referral, Section VIII
(reverse side of the form) is also completed. A minimum number of days is required (served in the
commander position or days of supervision) required for completion of a referral LOE. NOTE: A
non-concur does not necessarily make the report a referral. This LOE will be wet signed.
Evaluator Requirements. The AF Form 77 must be completed by two evaluators: the immediate
next-level commander in the rating chain (the rater) and the raters rater (the additional rater).
EXCEPTION: If the rater is a General Officer, the rater is considered a single evaluator (as
defined in AFI 36-2406) and an additional rater is not required, unless the LOE is a referral.
Digital Signature. Used only for Deployed Commander LOE(s). Digital signatures are used
except in the following cases: referral evaluations when at least one evaluator does not have a
common access card (CAC) or at least one evaluator does not have access to a CAC enabled
computer. In these cases the LOE(s) is printed and signed with wet (hand- signed) signatures.
Form Completion. A typed form is mandatory; however, if unable to be typed it may be
handwritten and must be completed NLT seven (7) calendar days after the ratee relinquishes
command. The objective is to ensure the LOE is completed before returning to the home station.
The From and Thru dates are determined by the date assumed/relinquished command.
Section IV, Comments/Impact on Mission Accomplishment. This section is prepared by the
deployed rater and the focus of the evaluation should be on the officers accomplishments and on
the officers leadership, team building, and problem solving abilities in completing the mission.


Page: 67 of 105
Section VI, Additional Rater (Used only for Deployed Commander LOE(s)). The additional
rater places an X in the concur or non-concur box. No comments are made unless the additional
rater non-concurs or the report is a referral, see AFI 36-2406, paragraph 5.4.4.11.
Section VII, Ratees Acknowledgement (used only for Deployed CC LOEs). The ratees
signature is an acknowledgement only and does not constitute agreement or disagreement; the ratee
signs acknowledging receipt. Use digital signature unless the report is a referral or the capability is
unavailable. If the ratee is unavailable or refuses to sign use the drop down menu which includes:
Ratee Unavailable to Sign and Ratee Declined to Sign, to select the applicable action.
Section VIII, Referral Report. This section is for Deployed CC LOEs only. All other referral
LOE(s) must use the same procedures as outlined in AFI 36-2406. The AF Form 77 is designed to
include the Referral Memorandum directly on the form.
a. To complete Section VIII, enter the comments that specifically make the report a referral.
Additionally, enter the grade and name of the person to whom the ratee must submit
comments to (the referral reviewers name).
b. The ratee has 3 duty days, (30 calendar days for ANG/USAFR), to submit comments and a
rebuttal. All supporting documentation is limited to a total of 10 pages, (5 pages front and
back).
c. If the evaluator named in Section VIII, is the additional rater, Section VI is completed in
accordance with AFI 36-2406, paragraph 1.10.5.3.
Section IX, Referral Reviewer. Used only if the additional rater referred the evaluation or as
authorized by HQ AFPC/DPSIDE. When used place an X in two of the applicable boxes and
provide comments.
Section X. (Acquisition or Functional Examiner/Air Force Advisor Review). Used only as
applicable; comments are for clarification of Air Force policy only, do not use for additional
comments. When the evaluator on a deployed commander LOE is not an AF officer or a DAF
official, an AF Advisor (O-6 or above) is designated by the MAJCOM or Combatant/Component
Command. Comments are not mandatory and only required to provide clarification and ensure the
report is written in accordance with AF standards; not to list additional accomplishments/ voice
disagreement. If clarification comments are provided, the comments are limited to five lines. The
AF Advisor forwards the completed LOE to the PERSCO Team.
NOTE: LOE(s) are accepted directly from individual officers; however, the LOE is not processed
until the PERSCO Team/AFFOR A1 verifies the eligibility of the officer and approves the LOE. It
is suggested that the officer contact their PERSCO Team/AFFOR A1 to route the LOE through the
appropriate channels.

Evaluation Reports Appeals (Correcting and Appealing)
17. EVALUATION REPORTS AND APPEALS (CORRECTING AND APPEALING) FOR
REGAF:
RegAF Airmen seeking a correction to or removal of an evaluation report may initiate an appeal
to the Evaluation Reports Appeal Board (ERAB) through the virtual Military Personnel Flight
(vMPF); or their servicing MPS may request the Evaluation Appeals via the Case Management
System (CMS) as a Unit Generated Appeals case. Airmen may choose to apply to the board to
seek a correction or removal of performance reports, promotion recommendation forms, letters of
evaluation, training reports and retention recommendation forms for up to three years after the
document becomes a matter of official record.
Correct evaluation data in MilPDS by direction of the Air Force Board for Correction of
Military Records (AFBCMR) or the ERAB. AFI 36-2406, Chapter 10 provides instruction on
how to appeal or correct performance reports, Promotion Recommendation Forms (PRF),
Letter of Evaluation (LOE) sheets, all Training Reports (TR), Retention Recommendation
Forms (RRF) etc., after they become a matter of record
Members who intend to file an appeal should read AFI 36-2406, Attachment 1.
Complying with the guidelines outlined in the attachment does not guarantee a favorable
decision; however, not complying can cause the ERAB to delay its decision, return the
application without action or not have sufficient information to reach a fair and equitable
decision
The evaluation appeal module, located on the vMPF under Most Popular
Applications provides the means for members to submit an appeal to have an evaluation
report corrected or removed
Airmen may also request consideration for supplemental promotion through the
same application when appealing an evaluation. Airmen utilizing the self-service
module should complete the application, upload or fax supporting documents and route
the request electronically via the vMPF or the MPS via the CMS
Route requests for enlisted supplemental promotion consideration through the

squadron commander, prior to submitting the application to the HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP
Performance reports must be filed in the Officer Selection Records (Officer), Senior
NCO Selection Folders (MSgt-CMSgt), and the Automated Records Management System
(ARMS) before they can be appealed. Prior to being filed, performance report(s) are
working copies, which are subject to change by evaluators before becoming a matter of
record and therefore cannot be appealed
Once the report has been filed in a members record, the member can utilize the vMPF to
request the report be corrected or removed from the record. EXCEPTION: When the request
is initiated by someone other than the ratee or the ratee does not have access to the vMPF

Page: 71 of 105

If an applicant does not have access to the vMPF/vPC and does not have access to his/her
servicing MPS/HR Specialist, the applicant must obtain HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP approval. If
approved, the applicant submits an AF Form 948, Application for Correction of Evaluation
Report, see AFI 36-2406, Table 10.6, for instructions. The AF Form 948 is authorized on a
case-by-case basis and only under extremely extenuating circumstances, (i.e., someone who is
in confinement and has absolutely no access to the vMPF). The Reserve evaluation corrections
and appeals are submitted through the vPC-GR to ARPC/DPBPE. Non-availability waiver
requests due to being out-of-the office, on leave or TDY will not be approved.
The members Unit/Group Level Human Resource (HR) Specialist or the MPS initiates a
case within CMS under the Unit Generated Appeals case, when processing a unit generated
appeal.
For more information, Airmen should review AFI 36-2406 or call the myPers - Total
Force Service Center (TFSC) at 1-800-525-0102 (Option 1, 1, 2); DSN 665-5000 or
Commercial at (210) 565-5000.
UNACCEPTABLE REQUESTS. The ERAB will not consider or approve the following types of
requests:
1. Void a report when the error or injustice can be corrected administratively.
2. Void a report while keeping attachments to that report.
3. Void an evaluator's section, while keeping comments or ratings of subsequent evaluators.
4. Void an evaluator's comments but keep the ratings (or vice versa).
5. Delete required information or add unauthorized information to a report.
6. Re-accomplish a report without the applicant providing the new report.
7. Change (except for deletions) an evaluator's ratings or comments if the evaluator does not
support the change. NOTE: When an evaluator supports changing the ratings, all subsequent
evaluators to include the commander on the Enlisted Performance Report (EPR) and the
Management Level Review Board President on Promotion Recommendation Forms, must also
agree to the changes.
DOCUMENTING AN APPEAL
1. Members must provide convincing documentation for appeal consideration; the willingness
of evaluators to change a report is not sufficient.
2. The member must offer clear evidence that the original evaluation was unjust or wrong.
3. Quality, not quantity of documentation is the issue. If the reason for including a particular
item of evidence is not obvious, the member must explain why it is attached to the application or
what the evidence proves.
Do not submit general documents i.e., letters of appreciation, character reference statements,
nonspecific inspection reports, etc.
SUPPORT STATEMENTS
1. The most effective evidence consists of wet-signed statements from the evaluators, who
signed the report.
2. Supporting statements must include dates and wet-signatures and must contain information
specifically related to the period of time and issues involved in the application.


Page: 72 of 105
3. When information is not firsthand, the author must identify the source. Such statements
should include the following:
Cite important facts or circumstances that were unknown when the evaluators signed
the Report
Detail the error or injustice
Explain how and when the error or injustice was discovered
Include the correct information.
Relate to the contested reporting period
Address the allegations and substantially challenge or disprove comments or ratings in
the report

or clicking the List of Values (LOV) button and selecting the appropriate value from the list:
EPR/OPR Susp Ind, Proj EPR/OPR Ind, and PFW RIP Ind.
1. Updates required on losing personnel:
If a report is no longer required due to a retirement or separation, update the Proj
EPR/OPR Ind as code 6. This ensures the members information will not produce on
any Transaction Registers (TRs)
If a report is required due to a PCS (or any projected loss reason), update
the Proj EPR/OPR
Ind as code 5 or 7, depending if the report is pending or completed. This
informs the gaining MPS the report is in the process of being accomplished or is
accomplished.
2. Updates required for incoming personnel:
Verify the status of the report from the AF Form 330, Records
Transmittal/Request
NOTE: If a report is still pending, update the Proj EPR/OPR Ind as code A.

available drop down menu. Rater will indicate the type of feedback in Section II..
a. For initial feedback, the rater marks the Initial Feedback block under each standard of
performance and provide comments on their expectations.
b. For all other feedback types, the rater will indicate how the ratee is meeting the
established expectations
c. These markings translate to an aggregate rating on the evaluation in addition to
providing an indication of how the ratee is meeting the expectations set forth by the
rater, and provides the basis for the feedback session discussion
d. The rater provides face-to-face feedback to the ratee in conjunction with issuing the
evaluation. The performance evaluation serves as the feedback form. Do not use a
ACA worksheet. When face-to-face feedback is not feasible, the rater conducts the
feedback either electronically or via telephone. Do not record this feedback in
Section V of the evaluation form as the last feedback accomplished on the AF Form
910 and AF Form 911 and section V on the AF Form 707.

CMS and ARMS Instructions
1. Use CMS to transfer completed evaluations from the MPS (Active Duty, Reserve HQ AGRs,
IMAs, PIRR, and LEAD personnel) to AFPC or ARPC, as appropriate. Use vPC-GR to transfer
completed evaluations from the MPE/CSS (All ANG enlisted AGRs, unit assigned Reserve AGRs,
ARTS and Unit Assigned Reservists) to ARPC.
2. For units using CMS, the MPS (Active Duty, Reserve HQ AGRs, IMAs, PIRR, and LEAD
personnel) uploads the completed evaluation to CMS, completes the required data and transfers the
case to AFPC (for RegAF active duty) or ARPC (for AFRES/ANG). AFPC and ARPC transfer the
evaluations to ARMS after completing the required administrative review.
3. MPS (Active Duty, Reserve HQ AGRs, IMAs, PIRR, and LEAD personnel) or MPS/CSS (All
ANG enlisted AGRs, Unit assigned Reserve AGRs, ARTS and Unit Assigned Reservists) personnel
track the cases in the appropriate system and close out the case once the case indicator reflects the
evaluation transfer into ARMS is complete. Digitally signed evaluations become a matter of record
once updated into ARMS. Original signature evaluations become a matter of record once filed.
4. The school house mails the originals to HQ AFPC/DPSIDEP and a copy to the MPS for update
in MilPDS. The copy can be sent to the MPS by either scanning and emailing or mailing a hard
copy.
Use the following standard file naming convention on all evaluations:
FORMNAMELASTNAMEFIRSTINITIALLASTFOURSSNCLOSEOUTDATE.XFDL
EXAMPLE: AF911JONESM1111071205.XFDL.
Incorrect File Type: The only acceptable extension type is .xfdl. Do not scan a digitally signed
report or submit wet signature reports via CMS. Wet signature reports must be mailed to the
appropriate agencies identified in AFI 36-2406, tables 3.5, 3.6, 3.9 and 3.10.
Attachments: The only acceptable attachments are a digitally signed evaluation form (910, 911, 912,
707) in its original .xfdl (IMT) format and a signed and scanned AF Form 77 used as a supplemental
sheet on non-referral evaluations. Do not scan and attach a digitally signed evaluation. Doing so loses
the digital certificate, which is required by law to be saved with the digitally signed electronic
document in order to validate the authenticity of the digital signature. The following should not be sent
as attachments via CMS: MFRs, Performance Report Shells,
or any other miscellaneous documents.
Invalid CMS Case Type: If the CMS Case is not built properly, ARMS will not accept the report.
The only acceptable HR Types are "AF Fm 910 Active", or "AF Fm 911 Active" or AF Fm 912
Active or "AF Fm 707 Active" or "AF Fm 910 Reserve" or "AF Fm 911 Reserve" or AF Fm 912
Reserve or "AF Fm 707 Reserve." The Active or Reserve designation ensures that active duty
reports transfer to AFPC and reserve reports (primarily IMAs) transfer to ARPC.

Attachment 4
EPR Performance Assessment Ratings
The overall performance assessment of enlisted evaluations is completely at the discretion of the
rating chain. Failing to meet a standard does not in itself mandate any particular overall rating. The
following definitions are simply provided for guidance.
Definitions of overall EPR performance ratings used on both the AF Form 910 and the AF Form 911:
a. Poor (1): Performs at an unacceptable level. Disciplinary action is not required;
however, the report will be a referral.
b. Needs Improvement (2): Meets some, but not all, performance standards. Disciplinary
action is not required; however, the report will be a referral.
c. Average (3): Meets standards/expectations, performs in the median when compared to
peers.
d. Above Average (4): Performs beyond established standards and expectations, performs at
higher level than many of their peers.
e. Truly Among the Best (5): Performs at a level above their peer group, elite performer who
goes above and beyond. NOTE: This is not a controlled enlisted rating system. Although
there are no established quotas on ratings or rating expectations, evaluators at all levels
must use caution to prevent over inflation. EPR ratings are used to determine selections
for promotions, career job reservations, reenlistments, and assignments. It is important to
differentiate performance and it is a disservice to all Airmen when EPR ratings are over
inflated.
NOTE: The rater will provide face-to-face feedback to the ratee in conjunction with issuing the
evaluation. The EPR/OPR serves as the feedback form. Do not use a performance feedback
worksheet. When face-to-face feedback is not feasible, rater will conduct feedback either
electronically or via telephone. Do not list this feedback as the last feedback accomplished in
the feedback block of the evaluation. NOTE: Comments on fitness are prohibited on the AF
IMT 709, Promotion Recommendation Form, unless the officer is not meeting fitness
standards.

The overall performance assessment of enlisted evaluations is completely at the discretion of the rating
chain. Failing to meet a standard does not in itself mandate any particular recommendation for higher
responsibility. The following definitions are simply provided for guidance.
Definitions of senior raters recommendation for higher responsibility used on the AF Form 912:
a. Ready Now (G): Ready now to immediately assume greater responsibility in a more
challenging position than currently held.
b. On-Track (H): Demonstrated growth potential; ready to transition to a position in a
related specialty or different organizational level.
c. Current Assignment (J): Stay in current assignment; consider for specific expertise,
pre-defined tour lengths, nominative positions, those newly promoted, or those
recently assigned to their current position that have not yet had their performance
evaluated.
d. Groom (I): Has growth potential and may be ready for a position of greater
responsibility in the future.
e. Do not Retain (K): Recommendations for non-retention require Senior Rater
Comments in Section II, part 1. Comments that exceed one line may be included on
AF Form 77. (Not applicable for ANG) NOTE: This Consider For Higher
Responsibility rating currently reflects Not At This Time in MilPDS
NOTE: The rater will provide face-to-face feedback to the ratee in conjunction with issuing the
evaluation. The EPR serves as the feedback form. Do not use an Airman comprehensive assessment
worksheet. When face-to-face feedback is not feasible, rater will conduct feedback either electronically or
via telephone. Do not list this feedback as the last feedback accomplished in the feedback block of the
evaluation.
