and make you aware of your performance.
You must sign your Evaluation Report and
Counseling Record. Your signature on your Evaluation

seen the Evaluation Report and Counseling Record and
your rights have been explained. Your signature also
indicates you have verified the identification data in the
evaluation.
Once signed the Evaluation Report and Counseling
Record is sent to BUPERS (counseling documentation
is retained at the command and not sent to BUPERS). A
copy of your Evaluation Report and Counseling Record
