Outside of these two recent packages, there are no other reported cases of missing or damaged scoresheets in Kelly apologized to the airman and pledged to address the issue.
Kelly hopes to have that plan in place by the end of the year. The initiative requires policy changes to handle issues like keeping sensitive information from some career fields secure online, as well as enough funding to see it through. In its bid to modernize promotion testing — which others argue is an outdated way to decide who should move up the career ladder — the Air Force is also taking a new look at how it scores candidates for promotion.
Experience should be the next most important metric, Kelly said. That would be a departure from weighting scores in favor of first-time testers rather than those who have sought promotion to a particular rank multiple times. In the future, people would earn greater or fewer points based on their performance, and the same based on their time in the service and in a particular grade.
The Air Force hopes to update its promotion scoring system by August, or by the testing cycle if needed. The service is still considering moving to a system that offers airmen a five-year eligibility window to rise to the next rank, which has been in the works for at least a year.
That approach is attractive, but difficult to execute without putting some airmen at a disadvantage, Kelly said. On the enlisted side, Bass said an enlisted force development strategy is coming later this year. The Air Force said promotion boards will still use the current scoring process, and continue to review the last five years of evaluations and all awards and decorations. But the Air Force will no longer score decorations separately as its own point category, the release said.

Your Air Force. By Stephen Losey. Feb 4, The senior master sergeant SMSgt is expected to perform as a superintendent or manager.
Broad management skills are essential to exercising the responsibilities of the higher leadership positions in which SMSgts serve.
The average servicewide, active-duty time for advancement to the rank of senior master sergeant is more than 20 years. Senior master sergeant and chief master sergeant promotions in the Air Force are made using both the WAPS points and a Central Evaluation Board that reviews promotion records. Each year, once for senior master sergeant January and once for chief master sergeant October , the Air Force convenes the CEB, consisting of several three-person panels.
Each panel examines the promotion records for specific AFSCs jobs. This means that everyone within a given AFSC will have their records scored by the same panel. The panels examine the promotion records and score them by considering the following: performance, professional competence, leadership, job responsibility, breadth of experience, specific achievements and education level. The rank of chief master sergeant is the highest Air Force enlisted rank, with the exception of the chief master sergeant of the Air Force.
Chief master sergeants serve as managers and superintendents, advisers, enlisted force managers and provide senior enlisted leadership. Following selection, CMSgts are assigned chief enlisted manager CEM codes and may fill any managerial-level position and perform all duties not prohibited by law or directive.
The average service-wide, active-duty time for advancement to the rank of chief master sergeant is more than 22 years. Command chief master sergeants serve as senior advisers to unit and base commanders.
CMCs advise the commander on all enlisted matters, including all issues affecting the command's mission and operations, and the readiness, training, utilization, morale, technical and professional development and quality of life of all enlisted members in the organization.
This makes the competition for CMSgt promotions extremely tight. The holder of this rank and post represents the highest enlisted level of leadership in the Air Force and provides direction for the enlisted corps and represents their interests, as appropriate, to the American public, and to those in all levels of government.
