Results of the fiscal 2015 Regular Army and Active Guard and Reserve (Army Reserve) sergeant first class promotion selection board that met in June will be released Sept. 17.

Promotions off that much-anticipated list are projected to begin Oct. 1, according to information provided by the Office of the Army G1.

The primary zone for the board included staff sergeants with E6 dates of rank of Feb. 5, 2011, and earlier. Staff sergeants with DOR of Feb. 6, 2011 through June 3, 2012 were in the secondary zone.

Sergeants first class boards are the largest centralized promotion panels conducted annually by the Army. The 2014 board considered 22,278 active component staff sergeants, and selected 5,446 for promotion, an overall select rate of 24 percent.

Selection board results normally are released a few weeks after a board adjourns, but this year's list ran late because of delays in the distribution of notices for the Qualitative Management Program, which is a screening process for NCOs, E6 and above, who have had derogatory information placed in their file.

Normally QMP reviews are held in conjunction with a senior NCO promotion board, such as the sergeant first class panel that met throughout June.

However, this year there was a delay in distributing QMP notices for the E7 board, and the QMP panel did not meet until July, separately from the promotion board, which in turn has delayed processing of the promotion and QMP lists, G1 officials said.
