Promotion From AB
Under normal circumstances, Airmen Basic are eligible for promotion to Airman (E-2) after six months time-in-grade (TIG). However, individuals enlisting for six years are promoted from AB to Airman First Class (A1C) upon completion of either technical training (or 20 weeks thereof) or the indoctrination course for Combat Control or Pararescue.
In accordance with AFI 36-2502, Airman Promotion Program, all promotions from AB require that the Airman's immediate commanding officer approve the promotion in writing before they may assume it.

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
