WAPS Meaning
WAPS stands for Weighted Airman Promotion System. It is the scoring system used for Regular Air Force promotions to Staff Sergeant and Technical Sergeant. A WAPS score is built from several factors, including test scores, EPB promotion points, decoration points, and the cutoff score for the member's promotion group.
This website is an unofficial planning tool. It is meant to help estimate a projected score, not replace official guidance or record verification.
