Air Force EPB Narrative Statements
Single-sentence action/impact performance statements for each Major Performance Area, sized for myEval.
Details
What did they do?
EPB narrative statements, per DAFI 36-2406
The Enlisted Performance Brief replaced bullet format with narrative statements: each statement is a single standalone sentence containing an action and at least one impact or result. That definition comes straight from DAFI 36-2406 (para 1.3.3.1), and myEval enforces the character limits, so every word has to earn its place.
Statements are written in plain English a civilian board member could read. Uncommon acronyms get spelled out (the acronym policy is in para 1.3.6.4) — "led 12 Airmen" beats "spearheaded 12 amn IAW AFI guidance." Structure each Major Performance Area statement as action first, quantified impact second: "Led a 6-member network team through a 3-week outage recovery, restoring services for 4,200 users two days ahead of the command's timeline."
Covering the Major Performance Areas
A strong EPB spreads evidence across Executing the Mission, Leading People, Managing Resources, and Improving the Unit — don't stack every accomplishment under mission execution. Resource management wants dollars and equipment; improving the unit wants the process you fixed and the measurable before/after.
Paste your rough notes and the generator drafts one statement per Major Performance Area, sized for myEval. Review each sentence for accuracy, verify it reflects the rating period, and edit before it goes in the system.
Frequently asked questions
What is an EPB narrative statement?
A single standalone sentence containing an action and at least one impact or result, per DAFI 36-2406 para 1.3.3.1. It replaced the old three-part bullet format on enlisted evaluations.
Can I use acronyms in EPB statements?
Only ones a general audience would recognize — DAFI 36-2406 requires plain language, and uncommon acronyms must be spelled out. When in doubt, write it out; clarity beats compression on the modern EPB.
What are the Major Performance Areas?
Executing the Mission, Leading People, Managing Resources, and Improving the Unit. A competitive EPB has quantified evidence in each area rather than stacking everything under mission execution.
How long can each statement be?
myEval enforces the character limits, so statements must stay tight — this generator sizes each statement to fit, with a character counter so you can edit without overflowing the field.
