The Air Force said Jan. 29 that 333 officers were slated to pin on their new ranks this month.
According to a chart provided by the Air Force Personnel Center, by the time January ends, 170 officers will have officially been promoted to major, 118 will have been promoted to lieutenant colonel, and 45 will have been promoted to colonel.
The pin-on date is the date when an officer selected for promotion officially takes becomes his next rank. It often comes months — or in some cases, more than a year — after selection they are selected for promotion.
For both officers and enlisted, airmen must wait to pin on their new ranks until other airmen already in that rank are themselves promoted or leave the service, opening up more slots. This is so the Air Force does not find itself with more airmen in a higher rank than it is legally allowed to have.
Following are the list of officers pinning on in January:
