According to the Air Force Personnel Center, the 22E7 promotion cycle marked the United State Air Force’s lowest E-7 promotion rate since 2010, with 14.8 percent of eligible tech sergeants selected for promotion. This was also the highest number of eligible candidates since 2010, with 27,296 eligible candidates. Promotion to master sergeant marks an Airman's first step into assuming senior non-commissioned officer duties.
