5/15/2012 - JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO - RANDOLPH, Texas (AFNS) -- Technical sergeants eligible for promotion to master sergeant will learn May 17 if they were selected during the 12E7 promotion cycle, Air Force Personnel Center officials announced.

Officials selected 5,464 of 19,809 eligible technical sergeants for promotion to master sergeant for a 27.58 percent selection rate, said Master Sgt. Gisela Hawthorne, from the AFPC Enlisted Promotions Management Branch.

The average score for those selected was 332.85, with an average time in grade of 4.43 years and time in service of 15.58 years. The average score was based on the following point averages: 133.84 for enlisted performance reports, 11.12 for decorations, 69.71 for the promotion fitness exam, 60.42 for the specialty knowledge test, 33.34 for time in service and 33.58 for time in grade, Hawthorne said.

The master sergeant promotion list public release will be May 17 at 8 a.m. CDT. The list will be posted on the Air Force Personnel Center's public and secure websites and on the Air Force Portal. Airmen will also be able to access their score notices on the portal and virtual military personnel flight.

Those selected for the rank of master sergeant will be promoted beginning in August according to their promotion sequence number.

"Selections are tentative until the data verification process is complete, which is no later than 10 days after the promotion release date," Hawthorne said. "Personnel officials will notify Airmen via their military personnel section if their selection is in question."

How very sad that we're playing the I have a secret game again and not simply posting the results online as soon as they are available. That's how I found out I made it and it was great. No rumors no waiting no leadership lording a secret over everyone.

Well 332.85 is the lowest cutoff average I think I've seen at least for a while. Before last year it was usually in the 340s.

The averages are almost identical to last year but the average is down about 6 percent. Good luck all eligibles.
