US Air Force Announces Automatic Promotions to Major Beginning in December
It looks like if you are a Captain in the US Air Force and have not had any legal issues you will be promoted to Major regardless of performance:
Most Air Force captains can count on automatic promotion to major after Dec. 1, the service has announced.
“Beginning December 2017, the pool of line officers considered for promotion to major will have a 100 percent promotion opportunity,” said a statement issued last month.
The move addresses a shortage of 1,555 pilots and manning shortages in other jobs usually filled by majors that have ballooned in recent years as officers opt for commercial aviation jobs, Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson said earlier this year.
Just under one in 10 Air Force jobs for field-grade line officers, whose main job involves commanding troops, are vacant while about one in four nonrated field-grade officer jobs are unfilled, the statement said. [Stars & Stripes]
