Three Little Rock Air Force Base members have achieved the military’s top enlisted rank, announced Air Force officials Wednesday.
Ernest J. Brown and William E. Wardell, both 314th Operations Group members, and Charles G. Smith, a 463rd Aircraft Maintenance Squadron member, learned of their promotion at 8 a.m. Wednesday — the same time that everyone across the Air Force found out.
This is the first time that the 416 senior master sergeants Air Force wide received word of their promotion to chief master sergeant online as the Air Force moves to virtual promotions notification on the Air Force Personnel Center public Web site.
Virtual notification is part of the Air Force’s personnel services delivery concept to provide Airmen the information they need when they need it.
“At the same time, commanders and supervisors should get out and congratulate their senior NCOs selected for promotion. We all know this is definitely a tradition worth keeping, when feasible, for honoring selectees and building Air Force morale,” said Chief Master Sgt. Rusty Nicholson, enlisted promotions branch chief at the Air Force Personnel Center here.
The board, which convened Oct 15-25, considered 2,476 senior master sergeants for a 16.80 percent select rate. Last year’s selection rate was 16.85 percent.
The average score for those selected was 671.39 with an average time in grade and time in service of 3.04 and 23.49 years respectively.
The average score was based on the following point averages:
135 for enlisted performance reports;
27.75 for time in grade;
23.75 for time in service;
24.29 for decorations;
66.35 for Air Force supervisory examination; and
394.25 for board score.
Those selected will be promoted to E-9 beginning in January.
