When are Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) materials published?

The correct timing for the publication of Weighted Airman Promotion System (WAPS) materials is annually on October 1st. This annual publication schedule is designed to provide airmen with the most relevant and updated materials needed for the promotion process, ensuring that they have a clear understanding of the requirements and resources available to them.

By releasing these materials at the same time each year, the Air Force establishes a consistent timeline that airmen can rely on for their preparation efforts. It allows for any changes in the promotion criteria or testing procedures to be communicated effectively, so airmen can plan accordingly for their professional development and promotion readiness each year.
