AFWAW,
The board scores are very fluid and always move up and down. Your score is not important...what is important is your standing...ie #5 of 20. If that is changing you need to talk to the CMSgt's in your AFSC and ask for advice...good job on Shirt duty for 3-months...try to get a few weekends in this year and do a couple of promotion ceremonys and MC a retirement for a SNCO. The board likes those things...and of course if goes without saying...do a good job and do not fail PT...a failure on PT is the kiss of death for a SNCO. I forgot, have you done your SNCOA? If so it sounds like you have done what you need to do...I also hate to add this but your life is almost a mirror image of mine and I have found this common so, here goes...when you are mil/mil the assignments are limited, if you have had to "homestead" to stay together (and this is common) then you may find yourself a year or so behind your peer group being promoted...nothing wrong with your performance just the way it is condidered under "breath of experience" that was one of the reasons I felt you should think of Mt Home...if you are not able to PCS (and you are really not) are you in a position that you can do a new job with a different duty title? Just a thought and...please do not tell me you are embarassed to be a MSgt in our USAF! That is a great accomplishment that many do not make. Aim High! )chuckle( Go Navy - See the world through a port hole and all that!~
