Who may act as reviewer for an EER?

• A. Only the Rater.
• B. Only the Senior Rater.
• C. A third party may act as reviewer.
• D. The Navy Board.

Answer: (C)

In an EER, the reviewer serves as an independent check to ensure the evaluation’s accuracy and fairness. A reviewer isn’t restricted to just the rater or the senior rater—a third party can be designated to perform the review when objectivity is needed or when an impartial assessment is preferred. This helps prevent bias and confirms the evaluation aligns with performance standards.

If the reviewer were limited to only the rater, or only the senior rater, there wouldn’t be that extra layer of independent validation in certain situations. The Navy Board typically isnits the standard reviewer for everyday EERs; it may come into play only in specific review processes, whereas a third party can be appointed to review many cases as appropriate.
