The Air Force has released the names of the staff sergeants<\/a> who have been selected for promotion to technical sergeant<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the 28,358 staff sergeants eligible to move up, service officials chose 8,246 for promotion<\/a> to E-6, a selection rate of 29.08 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average overall score for those selected was 346. Selectees\u2019 average time in grade was 4.15 years and time in service was 9.18 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the <\/b>complete list of staff sergeants selected for technical sergeant<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The E-6 promotion announcement, which is usually made in July, was delayed this year<\/a>. First, the Air Force in February extended the testing window<\/a> for 6,000 airmen in 18 career fields after an envelope of tests was lost in the mail. That Weighted Airman Promotion System testing window<\/a> was originally set to close March 15, but was extended to April 30 to give Air Education and Training Command time to rewrite the tests and mail them to more than 80 locations around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in March, promotion testing for technical sergeants, as well as staff sergeants, was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic, resuming May 11 and ending July 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
