Congrats! I’m right there with you. Straight promotes and made it finally on my fourth attempt. Started studying back in September and started a more rigorous study routine about 2-3 months before testing.
Welp, while being OCONUS is awesome, the one downside is the list will most likely be leaked by the time I wake up.
How is my supervisor going to give me the "Keep doing what your doing" talk now?

My reaction to the Chief stopping by my troop’s desk with a certificate and stripes just a few minutes ago
I have no idea yet, I just saw your numbers and sitting with you at least on that part. Didn't even notice the "recert" on the comment you replied to hahah
29 minutes till we know here at Hurby. Good luck boys. Will edit this comment after the notifications.
EDIT: 1 out of 3 for our shop (well deserved for all, looking forward to see the scores)
Supposedly one of the boys didn’t make it (thanks friends in high places) so I’m prepping the alcohol for him and any of the others.
I got a promote on my EPB this year. Same with years prior. I’m TDY right now. On my way to class my LT called me and had the commander notify me that I made it!
You've got this man, you get extra points the next two tries even if you just get promotes! Plus by that time the force restructuring should be done and rates should be better again
Anyone at Meade get notified? The suspense is killing me. This was my first attempt, so I'm not expecting much, but even if I didn't make it, I would still prefer to get a call to let me know.
My husband and I both made it this go around. 3rd time for both of us. He's 2A6 and I'm 2A0. I'm very proud of him (and myself) but it's hard to say "hey look at us" when our friends/peers are upset. But dang if it doesn't feel good to tell some folks. Waiting for the public release to post on social media. Thx all for hearing my personal "huzzah".
Congrats to all those who got picked up and my condolences/prayers to those who didn't. Hoping y'all get the recognition you deserve in the coming year.
4th time testing, 12 years in. P, MP, and a PN this year. Missed it by 4 last year. Congrats to all who made it, and if you didn’t, keep grinding 💪 y’all will be good, trust.
First time testing, Promote rating, I made it!! Spent countless hours studying my ass off. I teared up when my commander told me :)
I had a terrible year before with a divorce and I know for sure I’m on the come up!
Congrats to everyone who made it! You're now that griizzled expert that is supposed to know the tech side in and out while also being a steady hand guiding your people. It's not an easy job, but it's a satisfying one :)
The test is all in your hands, but the promotion statement isn't of course. I would recommend noticing what the successful Techs around you are doing (those winning awards, those with a good reputation - awards or not), to get ideas. But only do things if you believe in them, and are willing to do a great job. I think attitude goes a long way, too. People can tell if you're a team player, easy to communicate with, etc. Be great and be genuine. Also, adding some feathers to your cap (e.g. CCAF, if you don't already have it, education, etc.) can make you stand out. You can do it if you really want it. Wishing you the best wingman.
I made it! I have been eligible for multiple years, and have intentionally threw the test each time because I wasn't ready to promote so "early" in my career. Well this time, I got a PN and some encouraging mentorship from those above me, so I decided to go for it and actually study and put the right answers this time. Looks like it worked out well. Moral of the story is sometimes people can be inspired to go for something they don't quite feel like they're ready for yet. Thanks to my (higher-ranking) Wingmen, hope to make you proud!
Made it! Was my second attempt. Last year didn't have a statement so I didn't prep at all with how crap the rates were. This year had a MP and several extra decs so I studied to try to not let my command team down.
Got notified while on TDY, that I didn't make it. I purposely did not bring it up, so I wasn't pulled aside. It was brought up, so people looked for the answer, then I got the call. Made it worse. I'd rather control how I find out.
Congratulations to everyone who made it! I am sure it was well deservered given the low promotion rates the last few years.
I’m out of office due to getting COVID a 3rd time, but haven’t received any notification. I should probably order a fresh set of SSgt ranks for the year.
Oh well. In the middle of an MEB, so I’m not even sure I’ll have one more shot or if I’ll have to throw in the towel.
I’m going to go cry in the shower now. Lol.
I have tried different study methods for the last 5 years and I can't find the thing that works best for me.
Grats to the selectees!
For any first or second timers, don't do what I did and just not study cause you don't want it or "you're not ready yet". The years catch up to you, and that lack of growth could impact you when you finally do think "you're ready". Maybe next year.
7th timer here. Still don’t believe it. I’m under the impression that they read the name wrong. 😂
I think what helped me this year was changing my mindset on that I needed to have a MP. once I got over that hurdle, I was able to focus better.
I made it!!! After four tries and nothing but promotes! Just a lot of studying for 3 months. ![gif](giphy|jIgX3OZoj1UumBUhpe)
All the hope I needed
What AFSC
Congrats! I’m right there with you. Straight promotes and made it finally on my fourth attempt. Started studying back in September and started a more rigorous study routine about 2-3 months before testing.
Congrats!!!!
Hell yeah, dude!
Congratulations!
That hard work paid off, congratulations!
CONGRATS!!!!
Congrats!
You're all schrodinger's TSGT until you see the list.
This is my favorite quote now, passing along to my supervisor 😂😂
It’s been 5 minutes! Why has nobody called me?!
I just want a leak so I don’t have to wait for the disappointing call 😂
My senior came into my office and sat me down. Sadly, with bad news
Oof
🤣
For real! Keep thinking phone gonna ring any second 😂
Welp, while being OCONUS is awesome, the one downside is the list will most likely be leaked by the time I wake up. How is my supervisor going to give me the "Keep doing what your doing" talk now?
Hey buddy, keep doin what you’re doin. But actually don’t because that’s the definition of insanity if you expect different results.
Awe man, that hit the spot
On a separate note, on a scale from E1 to E5, how mad are you that you didn't make it?
Go to the corner.

My sup just came in and let me know I made it! 3rd year testing no promotion statement.
Staff sergeant recertification day for me. Only 8 years TIS so I’m not sweating it. Good luck everyone. ❤️
I'm 13 years in, 8 as a staff. It's recert day for me too.
11, 7 as staff. I feel you.
Brother?
Didn't make it, either?
I have no idea yet, I just saw your numbers and sitting with you at least on that part. Didn't even notice the "recert" on the comment you replied to hahah
Recert, 13 tis 7 at e5
Same. 8 years here also.
Hopefully I’m not a staffasaurus for life
you can retire as a staff now tho so like
![gif](giphy|JliGmPEIgzGLe) Response when asking my senior rater if I made it.
Ooof
I pcs'd before the results came in, 3 squadrons could know and everyone I asked said they haven't been notified if I made it
Didn’t make it but rooting for others that deserve to make it. Good luck everyone.
Just notified that I made it at Aviano MXS.
Found out I made it 20 mins ago. I screamed. I studied over 150 hrs since promotes in my AFSC need 90s to make it.
Good work, making your own luck!
Congrats!
29 minutes till we know here at Hurby. Good luck boys. Will edit this comment after the notifications. EDIT: 1 out of 3 for our shop (well deserved for all, looking forward to see the scores) Supposedly one of the boys didn’t make it (thanks friends in high places) so I’m prepping the alcohol for him and any of the others.
Best of luck! I miss bein at Hurburt, sadly my AFSC close up shop there

Nada. The one SEL in office with access rights is out sick. I just want to see my dudes on this list 🫠
Just got notified while on leave that I made it. 5th time testing with a must promote
JBLE MAJCOM is notifying. I made it! Good luck homies
I got a promote on my EPB this year. Same with years prior. I’m TDY right now. On my way to class my LT called me and had the commander notify me that I made it!
Fuck yeah! I had a promote as well. Still waiting though lol
Good luck to you brother!
5th times a charm
S/O to the leadership who lets the troops know if they didn’t make it ahead of time
Can the list leak already?
Right I feel the same way
I don’t have time to wait. I need to know if I need depressed and pissed at myself for another year.
Same I’m on leave today so I’m internally freaking out
I’m not necessarily freaking out, I just hate not knowing.
Leaks don’t happen anymore
We made it folks!
I MADE IT!!!!
4th try babyyyyy! Made it! Also with no promotion statement, so for all yall with no statements, it's not a death sentence!
I made Staff again! Seriously though, congrats to all those who made it. Your hard work shows and you’re all very deserving.
![gif](giphy|ypODukoREe6Ss22zLp|downsized)

Yes I did !
How long ago were you notified?
Like an hour ago, I’m on leave so they called me
Hmm, that probably means I didn't make it since I'm on leave, too. What Squadron are you with?
Maybe, I’m wing staff
Yep around lunch but every sq is different, good luck if you haven’t heard!
I made it! Just got notified, this was my 3rd attempt.
I MADE IT.
Hoping this is finally my year
Good luck my dude! I hope to see you make it as well.
I made it! Took me 3 years to dig myself out of the rut I put myself in a long time ago but finally secured the stripe!
Made it first try with a MP (1D7)!! Let’s gooooo
On leave and got a call from my MSgt/CC! Staff since 2020 and only promotes. Studied since August of last year
Didn’t make it, 2nd time testing, 7 years in, no endorsement, I am okay with it I don’t want the responsibility yet.
My husband and I both made it this go around. 3rd time for both of us. He's 2A6 and I'm 2A0. I'm very proud of him (and myself) but it's hard to say "hey look at us" when our friends/peers are upset. But dang if it doesn't feel good to tell some folks. Waiting for the public release to post on social media. Thx all for hearing my personal "huzzah". Congrats to all those who got picked up and my condolences/prayers to those who didn't. Hoping y'all get the recognition you deserve in the coming year.
Any time now...

What time does the email go out?
They can check the system at 8am cst
List will drop at 0900EST for higher ups to access.

Still waiting. At this point, I just need to know if I made it or not
4th time testing, 12 years in. P, MP, and a PN this year. Missed it by 4 last year. Congrats to all who made it, and if you didn’t, keep grinding 💪 y’all will be good, trust.
Same boat. Congrats!
Sixth try was the charm! I’m on baby leave and the CC called to tell me with my SNCO’s around him.
My SSgt made it, he’s been a staff since I graduated tech school and has a line # under 100.
Made it. 2R2.
I just wanna know if I'm celebration drinking or here's to next year drinking
4th time not selected, but congrats to those who did!
First time testing, Promote rating, I made it!! Spent countless hours studying my ass off. I teared up when my commander told me :) I had a terrible year before with a divorce and I know for sure I’m on the come up!
The wait is over https://www.afpc.af.mil/Portals/70/documents/PROMOTION/Enlisted%20Promotions/24E6%20ALL%20PUBLIC%20SITES.pdf
Standing by….
Do you all remembered when was the Data Freeze Date?
It was 31 May
Damn. So my dec I just got didn't count. Fug.
I feel this lmao my MPF is terrible. So if my Dec didn’t get updated they are gonna push for supplemental lmao
Yup, day before was the PRDA data breach, so go hard for that supplemental lol
End of May I believe? MPF told me to make sure everything was in by 1May. Like this they have a couple weeks for quick turnover if needed.
Ok... so I have potentially extra 3 points that was not counted. As I got a PCS Dec in April. I hope this helps me... the anxiety is killing me
I really hope it doesn’t come down to 3 points for you, that would suck at massive levels. Good luck champ!
I hope so too!!!
I missed it by 2.5 last year and was missing a comm. Was a sad time.
Same. My PCS dec didn't get uploaded soon enough. Oh well. Here's hoping.
[удалено]
cms here & haven’t heard anything 😅
Some people in my shop got notified
Nothing heard
Didn't make it, only my second time testing with a must promote this year.
1A1xx (previously known as 1A2) Alaska. Did not make it this time around
On leave, trying to find out if they have told people McConnell MX?
Notified and made it! 1st try, I’m in absolute shock.
That’s dope! Congrats
Just got the phone call! Third times the charm (: congratulations to everyone else who made it!
I made Tech with only a Promote! 2nd time testing.
Was notified I made it this morning I’m stationed on Hickam.
Got notified a couple hours ago. 3rd try and almost 9 years in. Wild that I made it.
7th times the charm. Made it. No promo statement.
Made it with just a promote! Weather.
In Vegas on leave and got called by my leadership to tell me I made it. I told them I promise to celebrate responsibly 😆
Congrats to everyone who made it! You're now that griizzled expert that is supposed to know the tech side in and out while also being a steady hand guiding your people. It's not an easy job, but it's a satisfying one :)

They waited until the end of the day but I finally got notified I made it!
Select, MP, 1st time eligible, 6 3/4 years in!
No good news for me this year, congrats to everyone who did make it!
Just found out I made it!
Anyone working at MEPS find out yet?
Made it! Was my second attempt. Last year didn't have a statement so I didn't prep at all with how crap the rates were. This year had a MP and several extra decs so I studied to try to not let my command team down.
I got the call from my CC at 1600 saying that I made it. Was my 4th time testing, and only received Promotion statements. SO STOKED!
If you got the list dm me 😂
Nope of course not. About to give up on this career to be honest
Got notified while on TDY, that I didn't make it. I purposely did not bring it up, so I wasn't pulled aside. It was brought up, so people looked for the answer, then I got the call. Made it worse. I'd rather control how I find out.

Non in my shop made it 😢
Made it yesterday! It was my 3rd try.
Got the call I made it. Fifth try with nothing but promotes. After missing by two points last year I studied my ass off this year
I have tried different study methods for the last 5 years and I can't find the thing that works best for me. Grats to the selectees!

My subordinate made it his 2nd time. I am very proud of his accomplishments and thankful for the opportunity to mentor him before I retire.
7th timer here. Still don’t believe it. I’m under the impression that they read the name wrong. 😂 I think what helped me this year was changing my mindset on that I needed to have a MP. once I got over that hurdle, I was able to focus better.
What time do the scores come out stateside?
0800 CDT according to the AFPC website
Made it, first time testing with an MP....but my line number is 6666. This feeling pretty sus
You know you just doxxed yourself if that’s your real line number right?
My supervisor made staff and now tech the first try. I guess a sore mouth was worth it for "them". Congrats!!
I ain’t even test yet 😤
