Claude Opus 5.5

This prompt turns an Airman's notes into EPB performance statements. Paste the notes, rank and duty, and the form's limits; you get statements by performance area with character counts, award statements and a decoration citation.

What you get

An accomplishment bank sorted into the four Major Performance Areas
One-sentence performance statements with a stronger and a shorter version of each
Award statements and a decoration citation draft within the limits you give
A list of every number and claim to confirm before submitting

How to use it

1
Paste notes with numbers and the limits
Write what the member did with counts, rates and results, then add the character limits from the current guidance or your unit template.
2
Pick the versions for each block
Choose the original, stronger or shorter version of each statement so each block fits its limit.
3
Recount and confirm in the form
Paste the text into the official form to confirm its character count, and verify every number with the member or the records.

Better results

Leave out anything that is not public before you paste, and use the system your unit approves for anything sensitive.
Paste the current character limits from your guidance rather than relying on memory; they can change between cycles.
If a block runs long, follow up with "Shorten the Leading People block to fit 350 characters without dropping a number".

Questions

Can I use ChatGPT to write EPB statements?

Yes, ChatGPT can turn notes into EPB performance statements if you give it the accomplishments, numbers and the form's limits. Use only information that is public, follow your unit's rules on AI tools, and confirm every fact and character count before submitting.

What is an EPB performance statement?

An EPB performance statement is one standalone sentence that shows an action the Airman took and its result, written in plain language. Statements sit in blocks for the Major Performance Areas, and each block has a character limit set by current guidance.

How many characters is an EPB performance statement?

Air Force guides give each Major Performance Area block a 350-character limit, often filled with two statements. Limits can change between cycles, so check the current guidance or your form before you write, and paste the limit into this prompt.

Does this prompt write award and decoration text too?

Yes. Name the award or decoration and its limit in the form fill-in, and the prompt writes award statements and a citation draft in citation style. It marks the opening and closing sentences for you to confirm against your unit's template.
