The Army will be posting enlisted promotion cutoff scores, senior NCO sequence numbers and monthly promotion lists one week later than in the past to accommodate changes to the sergeant and staff sergeant promotion system.

The scheduling change will be launched in late November for Dec. 1 promotions.

Under the new system, NCO promotion data will be released by Human Resources Command on days 21 to 25 of each month. Up until this month, the data was released on days 15 to 19 of each month.

Barring holidays or weekends, promotion officials will strive to release the data on the 21st of the month, just as the 15th has been the target date in the past.

Sgt. Maj. Thomas S. Gills, chief of HRC’s enlisted promotions branch, said the change is related to the fielding of an online worksheet that allows active component specialists, corporals and sergeants to review and update portions of their promotion file.
