USAF 16e5 Promotion

So far this is just a rumor by understanding, however, I heard tell that AFPC finally set 25 August as the SSgt Release Date with a staggering 42% promotion rate. Anyone hear any different?

42% sounds like a crappy retention rate.

42% sounds like a crappy retention rate.

It's good for eligible SrA, myself included, but it definitely isn't good that there is such a stark drop off in e5 numbers retention wise. Interesting times ahead.

Historically, what are the rough percentages?

Historically, what are the rough percentages?

The lowest I think it's gotten in the last 20 or so years was 16-19% in the mid nineties. 2000-2002 it was way up by the 60% percent range. My Shirt predicts that the rate will maintain 40-45% steadily as long as SSgt retention numbers stay where they are.
