Any word on the FY 18 SFC Board Results?

Has anybody heard anything about the FY 18 SFC Board results? Do you think this year will be a "good" year in terms of selection rates?

Title
Official Release of the FY18 Regular Army (RA) and Army Reserve Active Guard Reserve (AGR) Sergeant First Class (SFC) Promotion Selection List
...Issued:[6/29/2018 1:49:47 PM]...
A. MILPER Message 18-006, AHRC-PDV-PE, 4 Jan 18, subject: FY18 Regular Army
(RA)/United States Army Reserve (USAR) Active Guard Reserve (AGR) SFC
Promotion Board Announcement Message.
B. MILPER Message 17-317, AHRC-PDV-P, 5 Oct 17, subject: Preposition of
Centralized Selection Boards Results (Officer and Enlisted) to Army General Officers.
1. This message will expire 29 Jun 19.
2. The results of the FY18 Regular Army (RA) and Army Reserve Active Guard
Reserve (AGR) SFC Promotion Selection List will be posted to the Human Resources
Command (HRC) website for Commanders, Soldiers and human resource users to
download on 19 Jul 18.
a. The Army is currently staffing and pursuing a policy change in how sequence
numbers are assigned for Senior Enlisted Promotions under the HQDA Centralized
Selection Board process.
b. Current policy is to assign sequence numbers by Seniority. As we continue to
revise how we manage our talented NCOs, we recognize this application fails to
reward talent. The policy change currently in staffing, will transition the assignment of
sequence numbers from a service-based promotion to a talent/merit-based promotion.

c. However, in the interim, as we work towards these changes, the Army will stop
publishing sequence numbers on promotion lists. Beginning with the FY18 Promotion
Selection Lists, the Army will identify personnel selected for promotion as SELECTS
without publicly revealing their respective sequence number. Soldiers can still obtain
their individual sequence number from their respective Soldier Record Brief.
d. The effective date for establishing actual talent/merit-based promotions under the
new policy will be announced at a later date. Once approved and implemented, these
changes will result in recognizing and rewarding exceptional performance and those
with highest potential for increased responsibilities.
3. IAW AR 600-8-19 (para 4-1c (3): The selection list will expire effective the 1st day
of the 25th month from the date it is published. A Soldier, who is not otherwise
selected for promotion pin-on because they were not fully qualified for by-name
selection by the expiration date of the list, will be administratively removed and must
re-compete for selection by the next scheduled board (provided otherwise eligible).
a. Exception to Policy: Soldiers are to be extended on the selection list on a one-forone
monthly basis tied to formal requests for training deferments, thus equating to
extended time to remain (P) while they wait to qualify for training. Soldiers in this
category will submit a request for deferment by the 18th month if their inability to
attend training was no fault of their own.
b. Deferments must be approved by the first general officer within the Soldiers chain
of command. All deferment requests should be addressed to HRC-EPF-S Spearhead
Division Ave, Fort Knox, Kentucky, 40121, or usarmy.knox.hrc.mbx.epmd-ncoesoperations@
mail.mil.
4. Authorized release time is established at 0730 (EST) hours.
5. The prepositioning release is 17 Jul 18. This information is “CLOSE HOLD” until
the official release date.
