"Congratulations to all of our newly selected tech sergeants," said Col. Mike Minihan, 19th Airlift Wing commander. "No matter which wing you're in or what you do, you're about to get a lot more responsibility dumped on your shoulders. But I know you're up to the task. You've proven it. Thanks for all you've done, and thanks in advance for all you're going to do for your Air Force." The average score for those selected was 320.48, with an average time in grade of 5.55 years and an average time in service of 10.61 years. The average score was based on the following point averages: 133.10 for enlisted performance reports, 5.49 for decorations, 73.25 for the promotion fitness examination and 55.64 for the specialty knowledge test. The technical sergeant promotion list was released June 23, 2011, on the Air Force Personnel Center's website and Air Force Personnel Services website under enlisted promotions. Airmen can also access their score notices on the Virtual Military Personnel Flight and Air Force Portal. Those selected for technical sergeant will be promoted according to their promotion sequence number beginning in August 2011. As a reminder, selections are tentative until the data verification process is complete, which is no later than 10 days after the promotion release date. AFPC officials will notify Airmen through their military personnel sections if their selection is in question.
