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?

***Update*** HRC published the following message on Facebook and Twitter. This was like a WARNO to the WARNO, Lol

U.S. Army Human Resources Command
5 h ·
Many of you have been asking when the Sergeant First Class Selection Board Results will be posted. As soon as the MILPER is published with the anticipated date and time for the release we will let you know via Twitter and Facebook. Thank you for your patience and best of luck!

***Update 2***MILPER Message Number 18-204
Proponent
AHRC-PDV-PE
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.
MILPER Page 1 of 2
https://www.hrc.army.mil/PrintPreview/Milper/18-204 6/29/2018
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.
6. Procedures: To access the HRC enlisted promotion website go to:
https://www.hrc.army.mil/tagd/enlisted%20promotions.
7. POC for this list or its release is, HRC, Promotions Branch, Senior Enlisted
Promotions Section at DSN 893-9014, commercial [login to see] or email:

Last
year they convened in June and the list came out August 15. I am guessing that since they convened in April then the list will come out around June 15. But it also depends on how long the list is and when they want to release it. Look for it in the next few weeks.

It was a better year for the MSG list in 51C land so I'm cautiously optimistic. Hope we find out soon.

Oh wow, I hope that we don't make it that far and they end up shifting it to left a little bit. That will put us on waiting for over 90 days (Board recessed in April 30th). Please let us know if you hear anything.

That really depends on your MOS... last year for MY MOS (15E) they picked up a LOT. 34 I think..and on top of that they still have 17 eligible that have not had their number called yet. This years board was supposed to be for "projected" numbers all the way through 2020.. so it could be a GOOD thing or bad LOL.. Sadly we wont know until its out. As for when, everyone has heard something different. it convened earlier this year, but that doesn't mean the results will post earlier. I know I have heard this week, end of june, july and august lol so there is no telling when it will post. Sadly the only SGM I was friends with retired, hahah means no sneak peek!

Does anyone think that it would be wrong to email HRC and ask why they haven't released any guidance on what the concern is with the list? I look at it this way... If I were to have someone go to the lab to get tests done I would give them the results as soon as they came back and not hold on to them for a "right" time. Or if for some reason I wasn't allowed to give them the results I would tell them they are back and an approximate time when they would be given to them.

Relax they will be released soon.(July cough) The list needed to get another review before its released. It will be a long one. This list will run through 2020.

Good Luck, I emailed them with a questioned that wasn't even related to the release of the list a week ago with no response.
"July Cough"- I've seen you circulating July 10th on different posts. Where did this date come from? At this point I'm assuming they will release at the normal time in August-September, so if it comes out sooner ill be pleasantly surprised.

Not our time yet brothers and sisters... but the FY19 Command Sgt. Maj. and Sgt. Maj. Nominative Selection list has been released. So congrats to all those senior leaders. Hopefully HRC knows that we are all stressing and they will get it posted soon.
