Air Force changes testing dates for chief master sergeant Published May 4, 2005 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- The testing window for those competing for promotion to chief master sergeant will move to the second week in September."As a result of ongoing efforts to improve the enlisted promotion testing system and recent validation of the Weighted Airmen Promotion System process, ... we are changing the testing window for those testing for chief master sergeant," said Chief Master Sgt. Dale Kenney, enlisted promotion and military testing branch chief at the Air Force Personnel Center here.For the 05E9 cycle, the testing window will be Sept. 13 to 16. Previously, Airmen tested immediately following the Labor Day holiday weekend."Moving the testing cycle from the week immediately following the Labor Day holiday weekend to later in the month will help alleviate conflicts between family time and test preparation," Chief Kenney said. "This change will not affect promotion announcement or the months during which promotions are made for the cycle."For more information, Airmen can contact their local military personnel flight.
