JOINT BASE CHARLESTON, S.C. –
Feedback...
I'm sure you've heard it time and time again. "Feedback is very important" or "fight for feedback." Well, both of those statements are true.
Feedback is powerful communication between a supervisor and subordinate, co-workers, friends and even family members. We know how important communication is in accomplishing the mission and solving any problem. Without it, we flounder, nothing gets accomplished and we fail.
Air Force Instruction 36-2406, Officer and Enlisted Evaluations Systems, explains that feedback is a private, formal communication tool a rater uses to tell the ratee what is expected of them regarding their duty performance and how they are performing.
It also states when and how often feedback should be given. Formal feedback is documented on Air Force Form 931 and AF Form 932. If you have not received feedback from your supervisor, it's time to "fight for feedback."
Take the time to familiarize yourself with AFI 36-2406 and add the information to your toolbox of knowledge.
