11/16/2010 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- Air Force officials selected 504 of 2,287 eligible senior master sergeants for promotion to chief master sergeant, for a selection rate of 22.04 percent.
The average score for those selected was 661.37, with an average time in grade of 3.33 years and time in service of 23.30 years, respectively. The average score was based on the following point averages: 135 for enlisted performance reports, 24.49 for decorations, 70.24 for the Air Force supervisory exam and 381.46 board score.
The chief master sergeant promotion list will be released publicly Nov. 18, at 8 a.m. CST, on the Air Force Personnel Center's public website. Airmen can access their score notices at the same time on the Virtual Military Personnel Flight and the Air Force Portal.
Those selected for chief master sergeant will be promoted according to their promotion sequence number beginning January 2011.
The promotion release using the Web is one of the many technological initiatives AFPC has taken to effectively deliver personnel services, allowing Airmen around the world 24-hour access.
Another tool recently developed is an online video that offers senior NCOs a comprehensive look at the complete central evaluation board process.
"The senior NCO evaluation board video provides a look into how an evaluation board is conducted, from the date the board convenes to its adjournment," said Maj. Tammy Schlichenmaier, a recorder for the Air Force Selection Board Secretariat. "The video will help demystify the board process and provide Air Force senior NCOs a firsthand look at procedures used to conduct an evaluation board."
The video includes information on board member demographics, the Air Force chief of staff's formal charge, board member responsibilities and overall board processes and procedures.
"This video will assist Airmen in better understanding the board process, so when their record meets the board they will know they are receiving a fair and equitable consideration for promotion," said Col. Jaimie Pease, the chief of Air Force Selection Board Secretariat.
