The Air Force is promoting about 9 percent more airmen to technical sergeant this year than last, according to data released Tuesday by the Air Force Personnel Center.
AFPC announced that 7,724 of 37,172 eligible staff sergeants have been selected for promotion to technical sergeant, for a selection rate of 20.78 percent.
The selection list will be released at 8 a.m. Central time Thursday on the Air Force Personnel Center’s Web sites, and it will be posted on www.airforcetimes.com.
This year’s selection rate is slightly higher than last year’s rate of 18.55 percent. Last year, 7,103 out of the 38,324 eligible staff sergeants were selected.
The average score for this year’s selected was 319.69, with an average time in grade and time in service of 5.68 and 10.85 years, respectively. The average score was based on the following point averages: 133.29 for enlisted performance reports, 67.67 for the promotion fitness exam, 56.78 for the specialty knowledge test, 40.54 for time in grade, 23.95 for time in service and 5.36 for decorations.
This is the first time since 1996 that the technical and master sergeant selection lists have been released separately. The master sergeant list was released May 14.
