What is not in a PDE?

• A. Performance Development Evaluation
• B. Meritorious Service Medal
• C. Personal Data Entry
• D. Professional Development Exercise

Answer: (B)

PDE is the system used to record a sailor’s performance, development, and readiness. It covers elements like the actual performance evaluation, personal data fields, and notes about professional development activities you complete. The Meritorious Service Medal is a formal decoration awarded for meritorious service, not something documented as part of the development/evaluation record. Awards sit on the service record separately from the PDE’s performance and development content. So the item that does not belong in a PDE is the Meritorious Service Medal.
