The
promotion cutoff scores for enlisted ranks of the
United States Air Force are determined by how many enlisted members can be promoted each cycle based on end strength and fiscal constraints, then the
Air Force Personnel Center applies that quota equally to each
Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) based on the total number of eligible airmen. The total score of the last person selected within the quota then becomes the cutoff score for promotion in that AFSC. There is no way to know what the cutoff score will be before the selection process is finished.
