If an error is identified on the DVR, what should the Airman do?

• A. Contact the Military Personnel Flight
• B. Ignore it
• C. Contact the supervisor
• D. Submit a written appeal

Answer: (A)

When a DVR error is found, the official route is to contact the Military Personnel Flight. MPF is the office that maintains and corrects personnel records, so they can review the DVR entry, verify the error, request any needed documentation, and update the official records. This ensures the correction is properly documented and reflected across all systems (pay, assignments, and records) with a clear audit trail. Notifying a supervisor is helpful as a heads-up, but it doesn’t formally fix the official record. Ignoring the error keeps the mistake in place and could impact pay or progression. A written appeal is a formal dispute process and isn’t the appropriate first step for a straightforward DVR correction.
