Officials set promotion release dates Published June 4, 2003 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFPN) -- The Air Force plans to release its list of new technical and master sergeant promotions June 26 (June 27 for those units across the international date line). The list of new staff sergeant promotions will be released Aug. 13 (Aug. 14 for those units across the international date line).The lists of those selected for promotion will be available on the Air Force Personnel Center's home page by 4:30 p.m. CDT June 27 and Aug. 14, respectively.The announcements were delayed from the originally scheduled dates to allow as many deployed airmen as possible to be considered in the regular promotion cycles. The delays will have no effect on the promotion effective dates: Aug. 1 for technical and master sergeants and Sept. 1 for staff sergeants."Waiting to find out if you've been selected for promotion can be nerve-racking, and we know that,” said Chief Master Sgt. Mark Billingsley, chief of the enlisted promotions branch here. “But we want to give everyone the opportunity they deserve to make promotion this year. By waiting to make selections we can consider more people."Our goal is to try and mirror, as closely as possible, a list where 100 percent of the eligibles had been able to test in the normal timeframe," said Billingsley. "This delay will help ensure the Weighted Airman Promotion System continues to be fair and equitable for all airmen competing for promotion."The personnel center's home page is at www.afpc.randolph.af.mil.
