Keep the description faithful to the activity
Correct mistakes and recognize deliberate concealment.
False logs do not match the work
A log is false when it misrepresents actual duty activity. An honest mistake still creates an inaccurate record that needs correction. Deliberately hiding work or falsely certifying is a separate conduct issue. Intent and evidence matter when investigating it.
First establish what happened. Make a truthful permitted correction with an annotation and preserve the original.
