Another 35 people, largely pilots, earned a promotion \u201cabove the zone,\u201d or later than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For those in non-rated career fields, 72.5 percent of those considered received a promotion to lieutenant colonel, or O-5. That\u2019s 129 people who were promoted on time, plus another 19 who were chosen later than their peers. About 80 percent of mission support staff, or 380 people, were promoted on time, as well as another 32 people promoted later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When broken down by type of career, about 77 percent of troops \u2014 1,029 of 1,335 people \u2013 earned a promotion on time. Another 105 people were promoted later, out of 1,346 who were eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That includes 529 new lieutenant colonels in air operations and special warfare, 38 in nuclear and missile operations, 165 in information warfare, 173 in combat support, 170 in force modernization and 59 in the nurse corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the second round of O-5 promotions since the Air Force <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2019\/10\/21\/farewell-line-of-the-air-force-massive-officer-category-broken-out-into-six-groups\/\" target=\"_blank\">split its main \u201cLine of the Air Force\u201d careers<\/a> into six groups to compare their skills more fairly, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-air-force\/2019\/12\/09\/air-force-to-drop-below-the-zone-promotions-for-officers\/\" target=\"_blank\">ended early promotions<\/a> to give airmen more time to grow. Space operator promotions now fall under the Space Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A higher percentage of airmen were chosen for O-5 on time in 2021 than in 2020 in three fields: air ops and special warfare, information warfare and force modernization. Nuclear and missile operations and combat support saw a lower percentage of airmen picked for O-5 on time than in 2020, but a greater share of those tapped later than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/static.militarytimes.com\/assets\/pdfs\/1624509546.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><b>HERE\u2019S WHO WAS SELECTED FOR LIEUTENANT COLONEL<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the enlisted side, the Air Force chose a smaller cut of staff sergeants for promotion to technical sergeant as well this week. Nearly 27 percent of those considered will rise to the grade of E-6, down from about 29 percent last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.afpc.af.mil\/News\/Article-Display\/Article\/2668226\/department-of-the-air-force-selects-9422-in-technical-sergeant-promotion-cycle\/\" target=\"_blank\">the service announced Wednesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s batch of future technical sergeants includes 9,422 people out of 34,973 who were eligible \u2014 about 6,600 more candidates than last year. The Air Force Personnel Center will release their names June 29.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good news for thousands of lieutenant colonels and technical sergeants-to-be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":28313,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":67,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[101,24,88,16,26,67],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3392],"class_list":["post-12732","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-home","category-left-column","category-news","category-newsletters","category-your-air-force"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"L3VSJYRGH5D2BOIZK7H2VACXCQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-air-force\/2021\/06\/24\/did-you-make-lieutenant-colonel-or-technical-sergeant\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Did you make lieutenant colonel or technical sergeant? - Air Force TImes<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Good news for thousands of lieutenant colonels and technical sergeants-to-be.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Did you make lieutenant colonel or technical sergeant?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Good news for thousands of lieutenant colonels and technical sergeants-to-be.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/airforcetimes\/news\/your-air-force\/2021\/06\/24\/did-you-make-lieutenant-colonel-or-technical-sergeant\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Air Force TImes\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-06-24T04:43:29+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-07T20:14:24+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Rachel S.
