The average score was based on the following point averages: 135.00 for enlisted performance reports, 63.57 for the Air Force supervisory exam and 388.58 board score.

The Chief Master Sergeant promotion list will be released publicly Nov. 5 at 8 a.m. CST on the Air Force Personnel Center’s public Web site and on AFPC’s “Ask” site at Spotlight and Enlisted Promotions.
