[Promotion and PRF Information]

Absolutely.  I sat in on a briefing by HAF/A1 himself and a pilot stood up and told him that he knew two pilots that punched because they were passed over.  HAF/A1 then shot back that promotion is not a retention tool (and, to me at least, implied “maybe those two shouldn’t have sucked).  I was taken aback.  I can understand that promotion is based off “potential to perform at the next rank” but failing to promote absolutely leads to dudes walking and if our highest personnel leadership doesn’t see that then none of this will really change.  For what it’s worth he also stated the promotion boards are supposed to treat in and above the promotion zone records the same but the stats of the last several years seem to show otherwise.  

What stats? And how do they show otherwise?

Exactly correct.  Big Blue can talk about their efforts to solve the retention crisis all they want, but those percentages show they don’t really care.  If they did, the pilot numbers would be much higher.

What?

Would have loved to see the dumbfounded look in the face of the the guy (or gal) who got promoted BTZ with a P. 

I’m sure he/she was told by the 3 or 4 star GO that he/she is an ADC for.
