| X | Time in Service | 40 pts. Award 2 pts for each year of TAFMS up to 20 years, as of the last day of the last month of the promotion cycle. Credit 1/6 point for each month of TAFMS (15 days or more = 1/6 pt; drop periods less than 15 days). EXAMPLE: The last day of the last month of the cycle (31 Jul 93) minus TAFMSD (18 Jul 86) equals 7 years, 14 days (inclusive dates considered equals 7x2 = 14 pts). (See note 1.) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Award 1/2 pt for each month in grade up to 10 years, as of the first day of the last month of the promotion cycle (count 15 days or more as 1/2 pt; drop periods less than 15 days). EXAMPLE: The first day of the last month of the promotion cycle (1 Jul 93) minus current DOR (1 Jan 90) equals 3 years, 6 months, 1 day (inclusive dates considered) equals 42 x .5 = 21 pts.

Multiply each Enlisted Performance Report rating that closed out within
5 years immediately preceding the PECD, not to exceed 10 reports, by the
time weighted factor for that specific report. The time weighting factor
begins with 50 for the most recent report and decreases in increments of
five (50-45-40-35-30-25-20-15-10-5) for each report on file. Multiply that
product by 27. Repeat this step for each report. After calculating each
report, add the total value of each report for a sum. Divide that sum by
the sum of the time weighted factors added together for the promotion performance
factor (114.08). (See note 1.)EXAMPLE: Enlisted Performance Report string
(most recent to oldest): 5-4-4-3-5
22816/200 = 114.08 |
NOTES:
1. Cut scores off after the second decimal place. Do not use the third decimal place to round up or down.
2. The decoration closeout date must be on or before the Promotion Eligibility Cut-Off Date (PECD). The “prepared” date of the DECOR 6 recommendation for decoration printout (RDP) must be before the date Air Force Personnel Command (AFPC) makes the selections for promotion. Fully document resubmitted decorations (downgraded, lost, etc.) and verify they are placed into official channels prior to the selection date. When the date of the special order is prior to the month promotion selections are made, the decoration will automatically update the promotion master file. If the date of the special order is the month selections are made or later, send the following documents to HQ AFPC/DPPPWM:
- Special order.
- Citation.
- DECOR 6 (both pages).
- Amendments, if any.
- Documentation when decoration was placed into official channels.
