The average score was based on the following point averages: 135 for enlisted performance reports, 21.30 for decorations, 61.47 for the Air Force supervisory examination and 394.06 board score.

The senior master sergeant promotion list will be posted on the Air Force Personnel Center's public Web site and "Ask" site March 4. Airmen also can access their score notices at the same time on the virtual Military Personnel Flight and the Air Force Portal.
