The Air Force has selected 2,518 captains for promotion to major, in the latest promotion boards for line, chaplain, nurse corps, and biomedical science corps officers. For line officers, the in-the-zone promotion rate was 93.3 percent, slightly better than the last board’s 92.4 percent. On the other hand, the above-the-zone selection rate was lower at only 8.9 percent compared to 11.2 percent last year.
Air Force Basic Military Training leaders say changes implemented as part of BMT 2.0 are generating positive results so far—especially when it comes to creating “airminded” new Airmen.
