For the first time, 416 senior master sergeants learned of their promotion to chief master sergeant online as the Air Force moved to virtual promotions notification Nov. 14. 

Congratulations to the Spangdahlem Air Base selects:
Senior Master Sgt. Michael Jones, 52nd Munitions Maintenance Group;
Senior Master Sgt. David Smith, 52nd Equipment Maintenance Squadron; and
Senior Master Sgt. Thomas Walls, 52nd Logistics Readiness Squadron

The complete select list is available on the Air Force Portal and on the Air Force Personnel Center public Web site at http://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil. Virtual notification is part of the Air Force's personnel services delivery concept to provide Airmen the information they need when they need it.

"At the same time, commanders and supervisors should get out and congratulate their senior NCOs selected for promotion - we all know this is definitely a tradition worth keeping, when feasible, for honoring selectees and building Air Force morale," said Chief Master Sgt. Rusty Nicholson, enlisted promotions branch chief at the Air Force Personnel Center here.

The board, which convened here Oct 15-25, considered 2,476 senior master sergeants for a 16.80 percent select rate. Last year's selection rate was 16.85 percent.

The average score for those selected was 671.39 with an average time in grade and time in service of 3.04 and 23.49 years respectively. The average score was based on the following point averages:
-- 135 for enlisted performance reports;
-- 27.75 for time in grade;
-- 23.75 for time in service;
-- 24.29 for decorations;
-- 66.35 for Air Force supervisory examination; and
-- 394.25 for board score.
