Courtesy of Air Force Personnel Center News Service

The Air Force has selected 4,613 of 23,230 eligible technical sergeants for promotion to master sergeant, a 19.85 percent selection rate; and 6,904 of 41,186 eligible staff sergeants for promotion to technical sergeant, a 16.76 percent selection rate.

A total of 101 Cannon Airmen were selected for promotion.

The master sergeant selection rate dropped 6.19 percent from last year, while this year's technical sergeant rate dropped 4.25 percent from last year.

The Air Force programs the top five enlisted grades to 56 percent of enlisted end strength. The programmed fiscal 2007 reduction in total enlisted end strength from 282,822 to 264,424 resulted in lower enlisted promotion quotas.

The Air Force released both promotion lists Wednesday. The complete list of selectees will be posted online on the Air Force Personnel Center's Enlisted Promotions page by 5 p.m., CST on June 15.

Score notices will be available on virtual Military Personnel Flight, or vMPF, June 16.

There are approximately 5,200 non-commissioned officers who haven't tested yet because they are currently deployed or have just returned from a deployment said Chief Master Sgt. Rusty Nicholson, Air Force Personnel Center's enlisted promotions branch chief. “They will be allowed to test once they return, and will automatically be considered for promotion. Supplemental promotions are announced on a monthly basis until everyone has been considered.”
