Published June 23, 2026 - Air Force promotion list update
The Air Force has released the latest promotion list for Technical Sergeant (E-6). We want to take a moment to congratulate every service member selected - this represents years of dedication, sacrifice, and excellence.
A total of 6,668 Air Force Staff Sergeants were selected for promotion to Technical Sergeant out of 25,080 eligibles - a selection rate of approximately 26.59 percent in this cycle.
What This Promotion Means
A promotion in the Air Force is a recognition of performance, character, and the trust of the institution. Whether it's a first step up in rank or a milestone after decades of service, being selected says something profound about who you are as a service member.
For families, friends, and unit leadership: now is the right time to mark this moment with something that lasts.
