Top of the form
Before any performance statement, the OPB and EPB open with your duty description: your duty title and how big the job is. You get 450 characters. Spend them on scope, and save accomplishments for the statements below.
Write it in the present tense, without "I", and describe the job rather than what you achieved in it.
Flight Commander, Aircraft Maintenance Unit. Leads a 120-member team of Airmen across 6 specialties generating 24 F-16C/D aircraft valued at $720M for daily combat training and contingency taskings. Directs on- and off-equipment maintenance, the phase dock, and munitions loading; manages a $1.4M annual operations budget and 300 pieces of support equipment. Responsible for the training, readiness and welfare of all the unit's Airmen and civilians.
Section Chief, Supply Support, Logistics Readiness Squadron. Leads 14 Airmen managing 4,200 line items valued at $18M that sustain 3 flying squadrons and 52 aircraft. Oversees daily receiving, storage and issue for a wing-level warehouse; manages the squadron's $650K bench-stock account and 45 government vehicles. Responsible for inventory accuracy, hazardous materials compliance, audit readiness and upgrade training for the section's 6 trainees.
Flight Chief, Security Forces Squadron. Leads 42 Defenders securing a 3,900-acre installation, 4 entry control points and $2.1B in aircraft and weapons resources for 11,000 personnel. Directs law enforcement, alarm response and anti-terrorism operations around the clock; manages 18 patrol vehicles and $900K in weapons and radio communications equipment. Responsible for training, scheduling and deployment readiness of all 42 members of the flight.
Every example uses the full 350 characters myEval allows, and each is scored by the same rubric as the grader. Fit to 350 in the app does the same for your drafts. People and units are fictional.
Led a nine-member maintenance crew through Exercise Cobra Shield; restructured the F-16 phase-inspection schedule with the supply and munitions flights and cut turnaround time by 22% in 30 days. Delivered 14 mission-ready aircraft ahead of the wing's Operational Readiness Inspection, and left a checklist the squadron still uses on every phase dock.
Delivered 212 C-17 sorties during Exercise Iron Relay; rebuilt the load-planning workflow with the Port Dawg team and cut aircraft ground time 35% across 6 weeks. Moved 1,400 tons of cargo and 2,100 passengers with zero frustrated or delayed loads, and the aerial port adopted the new load-plan template as its standard for every contingency tasking.
Led the Security Forces response to a base-wide power outage; coordinated 5 agencies through the Emergency Operations Center, and restored entry control in under 1 hour. Kept 3 gates and the flightline secure for 6,000 personnel over 9 hours, and the after-action checklist became the installation standard for every future power outage and exercise.
Led a 140-member Aircraft Maintenance Squadron through a no-notice Readiness Exercise; generated 24 F-16s in 18 hours and earned the wing's first Excellent rating in 4 years. Rebuilt the generation plan with the Operations Group schedulers, cut launch delays by 40% in 3 months, and set the template the entire wing now uses for every major exercise.
Led 6 Airmen through upgrade training; built a weekly study plan with the Training Section, and raised CDC pass rates from 60% to 100% in 4 months. Coached 2 trainers to certify 3 weeks early, cut the flight's 5-level backlog from 9 Airmen to 0, and the study plan was adopted by the squadron's other 3 flights as their standard for every new Airman.
Established a peer-mentorship program for 40 first-term Airmen across the Maintenance Group; cut first-term separations 25% in 1 year, and the program was adopted by multiple teams across the wing. Paired each new Airman with an NCO sponsor for 90 days and trained 12 mentors in 2 weeks, giving leadership a retention tool that is still in use today.
Led 18 Airmen as acting flight chief for 90 days; balanced 3 deployments with home-station tasking and kept the flight at 100% mission capability. Rebuilt the duty roster with the Support Section, cut overtime 30% in 2 months, and closed out 26 annual training items 2 weeks before the squadron's unit inspection window, with zero open discrepancies.
Reduced bench-stock waste 30% for the Aircraft Maintenance Squadron; audited 412 line items with Supply and returned $86,000 to the Department of the Air Force in FY26. Built a reorder tracker that cut stock-outs 50% in 6 months, and the process was adopted by 3 other squadrons across the Maintenance Group as their new standard for all bench stock.
Optimized the Government Travel Card program for the squadron's 300 members; cleared 45 delinquent accounts in 60 days and dropped the delinquency rate from 8% to 0%. Briefed the 12 approving officials, rebuilt the monthly review with the Finance office, and closed the squadron's only open finding 3 weeks ahead of the Unit Effectiveness Inspection.
Led a $1.2M facility renovation with the Civil Engineer Squadron; finished 3 weeks early and recovered 2,000 square feet of training space for the organization. Negotiated 4 contract changes that saved $140,000, kept all 60 Airmen training on schedule through 5 months of construction, and delivered a facility the wing now uses for every new Airman.
Automated the squadron's leave tracking with Microsoft Power Automate; saved 20 hours a week across 3 sections and cut processing errors 90%. Trained 14 supervisors on the new flow in 2 weeks, retired 3 duplicate spreadsheets, and the Force Support Squadron adopted the new tool for all 2,400 members of the entire wing within 4 months of its launch.
Created a digital tool-control log with the Quality Assurance team; eliminated 100% of lost-tool reports in 6 months, and the process was adopted across the Maintenance Group. Tagged and laser-etched 1,800 tools across 9 shops, cut CTK inventory time from 45 minutes to 10 minutes per shift, and passed 2 inspections in a row with zero tool findings.
Spearheaded the unit's first Lean event with 12 Airmen from 4 sections; cut deployment-processing time from 5 days to 2 days, and the checklist became the organization standard. Mapped 38 workflow steps, removed 15 redundant signatures, and freed 300 man-hours a year for mission preparation across all 4 of the squadron's flights and 2 tenant units.
Illustrative examples. Use your own facts and numbers; your rater will ask.
The same accomplishment, written twice. The difference is almost always a strong verb, a real number and a stated result.
Was responsible for helping with various squadron tasks and participated in several exercises that were pretty successful.

Replaces "saved money" with the percentage, the scope of the audit and the dollar figure.
How to write it
Strong OPB and EPB statements follow the same shape: what you did, how much, how big, and what changed.
1Led a nine-member maintenance crew through Exercise Cobra Shield; 3restructured the F-16 phase-inspection schedule with the supply and munitions flights 2and cut turnaround time by 22% in 30 days. 4Delivered 14 mission-ready aircraft ahead of the wing's Operational Readiness Inspection, and left a checklist the squadron still uses on every phase dock.
Lead with the verb for what you personally did. Not the section, not the flight: you.
Attach a number wherever the work produced one: a percentage, a count, a time saved.
Say how big the effort was: how many people, systems, or units it touched.
Close with what changed because of the work, in terms a board or rater cares about.
Tips
The Officer Performance Brief (OPB) and Enlisted Performance Brief (EPB) are the Air Force and Space Force performance evaluations written in myEval, and the performance statements inside them are what promotion boards and senior raters actually read. They replaced the legacy OPR and EPR, which for decades leaned on terse, clipped bullet fragments — the OPB/EPB moved the other direction, favoring complete-sentence performance statements built as action plus impact. Every statement is capped at 350 characters, and boards read a lot of them fast, so each line has to earn its place. A vague sentence reads like every other vague sentence; a specific one is what gets remembered.
Your rater (usually your direct supervisor) drafts it in myEval, and it typically moves through one or more additional raters before it is finalized — most units work this on an annual static closeout date or at a change of rater. Most raters expect you to hand them your own draft statements first.

OPB is the Officer Performance Brief (AF Form 715, covering warrant officers WO1 through CW5 and officers O-1 through O-6) and EPB is the Enlisted Performance Brief (AF Form 716). Both are generated in myEval, the Department of the Air Force evaluation system; the AF Form versions are used only by exception. They replaced the Officer Performance Report (AF Form 707) and the Enlisted Performance Report (AF Forms 910 and 911).
Same purpose — a periodic performance narrative supporting promotion and assignment decisions — but the styles moved opposite to what people often assume: the legacy EPR/OPR relied on clipped, bullet-fragment phrasing, while the OPB/EPB uses complete-sentence performance statements written as action plus impact. The underlying writing principles (action, metric, scope, outcome) carry over either way.
It's the duty description at the top of the OPB and EPB: your duty title and the scope of the job, in up to 450 characters. Cover the people you lead, the equipment and dollars you're accountable for, and the mission you support. Save accomplishments for the performance statements.
myEval caps each performance statement at 350 characters, including spaces, and expects complete sentences built as action plus impact. Every statement in the example library uses exactly 350 characters. If a statement will not fit, split it: two tight statements beat one that gets truncated.
Use real numbers you can back up. A rough-but-honest estimate ('roughly 30 sorties') beats a made-up precise one, and it beats no number at all.
No. It helps you draft and grade the language; you still hand it to your rater (or use it as your own input) through your unit's normal process.
