service record

Career documentation file

A service record is the official documentation of someone's time in military or other institutional service, detailing assignments, promotions, commendations, and disciplinary actions.

It functions as a permanent employment history: His service record showed three tours in Vietnam.

The term extends to any documented history of performance: The car has a spotless service record.
