To those enlisted members looking for extra points in your promotion, do not look to get any from the TIG/TIS realm.
JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-RANDOLPH, Texas --
Time-in-grade and time-in-service points in active duty enlisted promotion consideration will be eliminated beginning with the 17E7 master sergeant promotion cycle, and all future promotion cycles, the Air Force recently announced.
This is the final step in a gradual reduction of points for TIG/TIS that occurred one-third at a time over three years as part of the new enlisted evaluation and promotion systems employed in 2015.
In order to create a framework that effectively encourages and captures performance-based service, overall enlisted performance report points for the Weighted Airman Promotion System increased while TIG/TIS points were reduced gradually with the goal to remove them completely.
The changes to the enlisted evaluation and promotion systems are intended to ensure performance carries the most weight when calculating points for promotion selection.
Airmen will continue to complete their WAPS testing and have their test scores combined with their other weighted factors.
The elimination of TIG/TIS points is effective with 17E7, 17E6, 17E5 and 17E9 promotion cycles.
Additional details regarding WAPS and enlisted promotions are available on myPers. Click the Promotion link from the active duty enlisted landing page or select “Active Duty AF Enlisted” from the dropdown menu and search “WAPS.”

TSgt Joe C. - one question, do some of those that get promoted truly deserve it? Just saying.

TSgt Joe C.
Honest answer...no..my own personal opinion though. Lots of people are great at their job; others not so much. On the same token, some a great at testing for rank, others, not so much. Kind of mix and match with all that and you get what you get. I'm great at my job but terrible at testing. Took me 3 tries to get to E-5 (SSgt) and I doubled that amount of tries getting promoted to E-6 (TSgt). There are those who have been in less than me that hold a higher rank than me; transversely, there are those who have been in ,longer than me that hold a lesser rank than me. Long answer, I know, but there is my take SGT David A. 'Cowboy' Groth
