SAN ANTONIO (AFPN) --  In his latest "Enlisted Perspective," the Air Force's top enlisted Airman discusses the the new feedback forms and the importance of honest assessment of Airmen by supervisors and rating officials.

"These evaluation forms are a great improvement," said Chief Master Sgt. of the Air Force Rodney J. McKinley. 

"The forms employ a less cumbersome administrative process that is more responsive to our expeditionary environment by using a new digital signature feature and electronic flow. Also, there are fewer narrative lines, which focus raters on a strong evaluation versus excessive verbiage," he said. 

Chief McKinley said new forms don't solve over-inflation of enlisted performance evaluations and the solution rests on the personal integrity of every supervisor to honestly evaluate their Airmen. . 

These forms signal a renewed commitment to provide Airmen the feedback they require and to candidly evaluate their performance," Chief McKinley said.

This "Enlisted Perspective" and other senior leader viewpoints can be found on the library section of Air Force Link.
