The form will be completed by the rater following the private feedback session. Part I should feature the personal information of the ratee, including their name, rank, and unit. Part II defines the type of assessment. You have five choices: initial, mid-term, follow-up, ratee requested, and rater directed.
An initial assessment is done when a trainee first begins their Air Force life. A mid-term assessment happens partway through training, while a follow-up assessment occurs sometime during the period after the mid-term assessment. “Ratee Requested” indicates that the ratee asked to have their performance evaluated, while “Rater Directed” indicates that the supervisor specifically ordered the performance feedback to be completed.
Part III is the self-assessment portion, which the ratee will fill out themselves. They’ll then forward their answers to the rater. The rating scale includes Y for yes and N for needs more information.
Part IV is completed by the rater and details the critical role the ratee has to support their mission. After the rater talks to the unit deployment manager, they can complete Part V. The Individual Readiness Index has R for red, meaning the trainee is not ready for deployment. G stands for green, indicating that the trainee is ready to be deployed.
Part VI is the main performance rating. For each of the numbered skills and positive qualities, the rater should check the box that most resembles the ratee’s performance. The bottom of the page, Box 6, is an open space left specifically for comments. If the rater wants to qualify or mention anything else, that’s the box to use.
A followership and leadership assessment is the main component of Part VII. It’s set up similarly to the performance assessment. For every skill and trait, the rater must check the box resembling the ratee’s leadership and followership qualities. Part VIII regards the entire overall concept of the Airman, evaluating whether the ratee has embraced the core values of the Air Force.
For both Part VII and Part VIII, a comments section is available should the rater need to add more detail or make any qualifying comments.
Part IX is a list of important questions that the rater and ratee should discuss during their counseling session. The rater doesn’t need to record the ratee’s answers. Instead, they should use these questions as a basic guideline during their session.
At the bottom of the document, the ratee and rater should both sign in their respective boxes. The date should be the date the evaluation was completed.[pdf-embedder url=”https://cdn-prod-pdfsimpli-wpcontent.azureedge.net/pdfseoforms/pdf-20180219t134432z-001/pdf/af-form-931.pdf?sv=2018-03-28&si=readpolicy&sr=c&sig=MXHnWmn0sXNXztiU%2Bugk2d7DV7KBCOuXF3oBMx0EeEw%3D”]
