Promotion Eligibility Cutoff Date (PECD)
Definition
The promotion eligibility cutoff date (PECD) is used to determine Airman promotion eligibility — and is the cutoff date by which selection folder contents and promotion evaluation brief information must be updated and complete.
The PECD is the date that promotion criteria (data on the Data Verification Brief) is considered for board evaluation.
