1. What is the USAF Promotion Points Calculation?

The USAF Promotion Points calculation determines an airman's total points for promotion consideration. It combines scores from SKT (Specialty Knowledge Test), PFE (Promotion Fitness Examination), EPR (Enlisted Performance Report) points, decoration points, time in grade, and time in service.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the USAF promotion points formula:

\[ Points = \frac{(SKT + PFE)}{2} + EPR + Decorations + TIG + TIS \]

Where:

\( SKT \) — Specialty Knowledge Test score
\( PFE \) — Promotion Fitness Examination score
\( EPR \) — Enlisted Performance Report points
\( Decorations \) — Decoration points
\( TIG \) — Time in Grade (months)
\( TIS \) — Time in Service (months)

Explanation: The formula averages the SKT and PFE scores, then adds EPR points, decoration points, time in grade, and time in service to calculate the total promotion points.

3. Importance of Promotion Points

Details: Promotion points are crucial for determining an airman's eligibility for promotion. Higher points increase the likelihood of promotion and career advancement within the USAF.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter all required scores and points as numerical values. Ensure all inputs are valid (non-negative numbers) for accurate calculation.
