AF combines officer promotion, developmental education releases

  • Published
RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas --  Air Force officials recently announced they will begin combining the public releases for officer promotions and developmental education announcements as part of an ongoing effort to streamline personnel processes.

The new initiative will start later this year with the September 2008B lieutenant colonel line of the Air Force central selection board.

"Combining these releases is smarter and much more efficient," said Brig. Gen. Darrell Jones, director of Force Management Policy at the Pentagon. "This change reduces the workload involved in processing two separate releases for each officer promotion board, and it eliminates the delay between promotion notification and DE 'select' notification."

In June 2002, officials began announcing officer promotion results and professional military education candidacies separately to place more emphasis on the promotions.

"Because DE opportunities have expanded, 're-coupling' these releases makes more sense now and will save the Air Force time and resources in the long run," General Jones said.
