The Air Force circulated a proposed officer promotion system in May, aimed at giving experts in emerging specialties a better shot at ascending to the top ranks of the service. The current system lumps 87 percent of officers into a single promotion category. That disadvantages those with unconventional career paths-frequently those with less common specialties. In mid-June, Deputy Chief of Staff for Manpower, Personnel, and Services Lt. Gen. Brian T. Kelly spoke with Editorial Director John A. Tirpak and Editor in Chief Tobias Naegele about the new promotion system, the Air Force's pilot shortage, and a new expeditionary force presentation construct.
