The Air Force said Thursday that it has selected 307 enlisted airmen for supplemental promotion this month.
The supplemental promotions include 238 airmen chosen for staff sergeant, and 41 selected for technical sergeant, the Air Force Personnel Center said in a release. It also includes 23 airmen chosen for promotion to master sergeant — one of which was left over from the 2017 E7 cycle — two for senior master sergeant, and three for chief master sergeant.
Airmen are considered for supplemental promotion if they are unable to test during their normal testing window, such as if they are deployed at the time.

Personnel officials said that two days before before the list of selectees was publicly released, it gave their supervisors a heads up, so they could prepare to make the announcement and celebrate.
