535th AS Airman promoted below-the-zone
Airman 1st Class Ryan Lockhart, 535th Airlift Squadron is promoted to Senior Airman below-the-zone by Chief Master Sgt. Leslie Bramlett, 15th Wing command chief and Col. Terry Scott, 15th Wing vice commander, at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii Sept. 19. The BTZ promotion is a competitive early promotion program that allows Airmen to get promoted to Senior Airman six months earlier than they would normally sew on that rank. (Photo by David D.
