SMSgts must attend A800 before 1 year time-in-grade. Note: Senior noncommissioned officers who complete a resident sister service equivalent course or Joint Special Operations Forces Senior Enlisted Academy will receive enlisted professional military education credit for completing resident Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy. Graduates of sister service and joint equivalent courses may opt, based on their priority level and on a space-available basis, to attend Air Force Senior Noncommissioned Officer Academy. AFPC/EPME selects regular Air Force Airmen for resident enlisted professional military education attendance based on grade, date of rank, priority, and eligibility. Priority 1: SMSgts by seniority (based on date of rank, total active federal military service date, pay date and date of birth). Priority 2: MSgts selected for promotion to SMSgt (based on date of rank, total active federal military service date, pay date and date of birth). Priority 3: MSgts (non-selects to SMSgt) based on promotion board score (highest to lowest).
