Continued from Page v John p. Mcconnell in a letter Tomajor commanders said the new policy is an improvement in the officer temporary promotion pro Gram. The Date of rank system emphasizes seniority and service in the current Grade for promotion eligibility to the next higher Grade he explained. I want to assure every Active duty officer that this change will not affect current promotion Opportunity or promotion phase Points. In fact other conditions which influence the promotion system Are such that promotion to Cap Tain is being accelerated to three years and promotion Opportunity to major is being increased to 90 per  in order to assure consistency and equity for officers eligible for promotion to colonel under theold criterion the primary zone eligibility for the next colonel aboard will be based on both serv ice and Date of rank. Not first time promotion to temporary Cap Tain under the new method 18 months in Grade will take place starting Jan. 1. Current proce dures for promotion to temporary first lieutenant will remain the same. This is not the first time Theair Force will have a Date of rank system. It existed prior to 1960,but was changed to total time to achieve a better distribution of the officer Force by Grade and service and ultimately provide reasonable promotion Opportunity for everyone. With the passage of time Al this has been achieved Mcconnell said through a combi nation of management policies and legislation by Congress in creasing Field Grade ceilings. The present system established a High degree of stability in the temporary promotion program the air Force says adding that it gives Little consideration to Grade seniority an requires some officers with a lot of time in Grade to wait extra years to qualify for primary zone  prospects for about 90 per cent of the 135,000 Active duty officers will remain essentially the same As under the present system. The remaining 10 per cent affected Are mainly officers recalled to Active duty those who enter Active duty ingrates above second lieutenant and those advanced Early in the secondary zone. Enter zone together under a Date of rank system officers selected for a Given Fis Cal year program enter a secondary zone to the next higher Grade together the air Force explains. The same group less any selected in the secondary zone to the next higher Grade then enters the primary zone to Gether. This is not True in the pres ent system based on total Active commissioned service where the senior selectee May bypass the next secondary zone altogether and enter the primary zone in As Little As two years after his last promotion. The Junior Selec tee secondary zone May conceivably have to wait As much As 10 years before obtaining primary zone eligibility for the next higher Grade. Could take 20 year for example the officer who was selected upon first consideration in the secondary zone to major and lieutenant colonel was promoted to lieutenant colonel in the 10th year and would not be come eligible in the primary zone to colonel under the exist ing service criterion until the 20th  going to the new Date of rank system the air Force will compile an Active duty pro motion list for All regular and non regular duty Active officers similar to the regulars Lineal list published in the air Force Register.
