What is the purpose of the Data Verification Record (DVR) in promotions?

• A. It documents errors found and ensures corrections are made
• B. It tracks flight schedules
• C. It stores medical records
• D. It lists duty assignments

Answer: (A)

The Data Verification Record is all about ensuring accuracy of the personnel data used for promotions. It documents any errors found in the records and records the corrections that were made, creating a clear, auditable trail. This ensures the data behind promotion decisions reflects the member’s true record, helps prevent erroneous promotions, and provides accountability if discrepancies later arise. By capturing both what was wrong and how it was fixed, it supports quality control during the promotion process and allows boards or auditors to review data integrity if questions come up.

Other options describe things like schedules, medical data, or duty assignments, which aren’t about verifying and correcting the data that drives promotion decisions.
