Some changes begin immediately while others require additional time to phase in because of procedural guidance, revision of EES forms, and additional staffing. Beginning immediately, raters for technical sergeants and below must document the initial and midterm performance feedback session date in Section V, or performance feedback certification block, of Air Force Form 910. This performance report form is being revised to reflect this change and should be available throughout the Air Force within 30 to 60 days. Until then, raters must use Section V to document feedback dates. If either of the dates are omitted, raters must give a reason for not providing one or both dates.
Feedback is now mandatory for all senior NCOs beginning immediately.
Initial feedback for senior NCOs must be completed by July 31, personnel officials said. The revised forms should be available in early July. Commanders are authorized access to performance feedback worksheets for senior NCOs beginning Aug. 1. The revised forms should be available in August. Also beginning Aug. 1, written promotion recommendation statements may be used in EPRs closing out Aug. 1 or later for technical sergeants and below and senior master sergeants.
