TOP STORY >>E-5 promotions announced

Air Force officials selected 15,130 of 36,608 eligible senior airmen for promotion to staff sergeant for a selection rate of 41.33 percent, up 5.46 percent from last year. 

“The promotion opportunity for this year is outstanding,” said Chief Master Sgt. Rusty Nicholson, the enlisted promotion branch chief at the Air Force Personnel Center at Randolph Air Force Base. “This is a great day for the United States Air Force and a significant event for the Air Force’s newest group of noncommissioned officers.”

The average staff sergeant selectee score for the 07E5 staff sergeant test cycle was 270.71 points, based on the following:
— 131.72 Enlisted Performance Reports
— 55.99 Promotion Fitness Exam
— 54.33 Specialty Knowledge Test
— 2.15 Time in Grade
— 4.72 Time in Service
— 0.85 Decorations 

There are 4,894 enlisted Airmen who will have yet to take the Weighted Airmen Promotion System test, primarily due to deployment, Chief Nicholson said.
