After I started my second tour on the KC-10, I kept a meticulous log book. I was appalled at how bad our HARMs office was. Literally, every other flight had errors. It was so bad, that the people working in the office got very short with me. But it wasn't my problem, it was their crappy work. Part of the problem is the system which they have to work with. Also, I've found some potentially embarrassing things such as double logged missions (try to explain that in an interview) and entire missions that didn't have any night or instrument time logged.

This has been a big beef of mine ever since AMC and ACC AOS went to their new and improved ORM worksheets ... you know the ones with a bazillion questions that do little to keep you safe because they're going to get waived anyways.
On the worksheets they ask how many pilot in command hours does the aircraft commander have. Well how in the hell do you expect me to answer that since the USAF doesn't track PIC/SIC time?
When we had our SAV from AMC Stan/Eval, I made sure to voice my opinion about their ORM worksheets and the references to PIC time. Unfortunately, they didn't have a good answer but said they stood behind the ORM program and felt it was working.
