How is your PMA calculated?

[Tony]

Your Performance Mark Average (PMA) uses only the Promotion Recommendation block (Block 45) from evaluations in the current paygrade. For E4, your ESO uses evals from the past 8 to 9 months. For E5, the past 14 to 15 months are used, and E6, the past 36 months. Block 45 marks are added together, then divided by the number of evaluations used in the computation.
 
Promotion Recommendation Point Values
 
Early Promote = 4.00
Must Promote = 3.80
Promotable = 3.60
Progressing = 3.40
Significant Problems = 2.00
 
Example for PO2 Participating in PO1 Exam:
 
Evaluation Ending Block 45 Mark
09 March 15 EP = 4.00
08 March 15 MP = 3.80
07 March 15 MP = 3.80
 
Add 4.00 + 3.80 + 3.80 = 11.6, divide by 3 = 3.866
 
Round up to 3.87 = PMA
