Senior NCO Sequence Numbers?

How does the Army (HRC) determine when the sequence numbers are distributed? And is it true that sequence numbers are determined based on Date of Rank?

In AR 600-8-19 enlisted promotions, explains the process of sequence numbers generated by HRC through date of rank. Four years ago I was intrigued about this process and found answer in AR 600-8-19.

Yes, sequence numbers are based off of date of rank.

Additional Soldiers that's not recommend for promotion will Require a non promotion counsel in accordance with AR 600-8-19; 1 chapter paragraph 26.

Also of note here to those reading, just because you have a sequence number of 0001 does not mean you were the best of the best. It just means you were a SSG for longer than everyone else who got selected. Meaning the 0239 SSG was probably in the secondary zone getting his first look.

Full Disclosure: I'll be a SSG for 6 years in June.

I just see that misconception ALL the time.
