a. On all LOEs, the FROM date is the first day of supervision or observation; the
day following the close-out of the last evaluation or TR whichever is later; or if there is not
previous evaluation, the extended active duty or total active federal military service date.
b. On informal LOEs, the THRU date is the last day of supervision or observation.
c. On formal LOEs, the THRU date is the day before the effective date (departure date) of the
PCS, PCA, temporary duty action, or the day before the commander’s written notice of a
planned separation in accordance with DAFI 36-3211.
3. Signatures and Dates.
a. Sign and date the original form. Do not sign or date before the close-out date. Enter only the
last four digits of the evaluator’s social security number. If the evaluator is a civilian or a
member of a foreign service, the social security number is not required.
b. Upon Senate confirmation, colonels on the brigadier general select list are permitted to sign
all Officer Evaluation System forms as “Brig Gen (Sel)” provided they are either designated by
their respective management level as a senior rater or they are assigned to an authorized, funded
or unfunded, brigadier general officer position, frocked or not.
c. Upon Senate confirmation, brigadier generals on the major general select list are permitted to
sign all Officer Evaluation System forms as “Maj Gen (Sel)” provided that they are either
evaluating other general officers or are assigned to an authorized, funded or unfunded, major
general officer position, frocked or not.
d. Upon Senate confirmation, all general officer selects, assigned to joint billets or unified
commands, may sign all Officer Evaluation System forms as “NAME, Brig Gen (Sel), USAF”.
e. Any LOE closing out prior to the senate confirmation date will not reflect the “Select (Sel)”
and, if necessary, be forwarded up the chain for endorsement. In addition, all frocked general
officers are authorized to sign all Officer Evaluation System forms in their frocked grade
without designating their frocked status (e.g., major general vice major general “frocked”).
4. The examiner/advisor may provide clarification about the ratee's duty performance, elaborate
on types of functions ratee performs (advisor), or clarify acquisition-related considerations
(examiner), and explain any uncommon phrases or terms. Limit comments to the space
provided. See paragraph 1.6.7 to determine when an acquisition/functional examiner/AF
advisor is required.
5. Gaps and Unrated Periods between Evaluations. See DAFI 36-2608.
a. Documenting Unrated Periods between Officer Evaluations. Complete an DAF Form 77 with
the inclusive dates of the unrated period. Enter the statement “Prior-service enlistee (or officer)
not rated for the above period,” in Section IV of the DAF Form 77. When an officer enters the
Air Force from another service, prepare a DAF Form 77 to cover the period between the close-
out date of the officer’s last performance evaluation in the other service and the date of entry
into the Air Force. The servicing MPF prepares the DAF Form 77 and forwards a copy to the
custodian of the SNCO selection record, Officer Command Selection Record Group (OCSRG),
OSR, and ARMS/PRDA. The servicing MPF informs the officer of the preparation and filing of
the DAF Form 77. Responsibility for the preparation of the DAF Form 77 is as follows:
(1) ARPC for individuals recalled under 10 U.S.C. §§ 10301, 10211, 12301(d), 12310, 10305,
9038 and 12402; US Property and Fiscal Officers recalls under 32 U.S.C. § 708; and recalls to
serve with the Selective Service.
(2) The losing ARC MPF, if assigned to nonparticipating status:
(a) For Reservists. ARPC/DPTSE documents voids in records for periods of service for officers
assigned to a reserve section, voids caused by a Guard officer moving from one state to another,
