March 2011. A1C sew on date + 28 months.
If you elected to do 6 years and received two stripes then your actual date of rank is the date that you graduated basic training. NOT the day you finished tech school. So if that is the case, start counting 28 months from the date you graduated basic training.
If you are a 4 year enlistee then you must simply wait 28 months.
In both cases the 28 months can be shortened to 22 months if you achieve Senior Airman Below-The-Zone (6 months early). That is the quickest way to make it to SrA.
A tip from someone who made it:
If you'd like to make it, show up to work on time every day, volunteer for everything, do University classes and stay out of trouble. Specifically mention to your supervisor you'd like to make it.
Or sew on SrA about 11 months after graduating basic training, like me. :)
You will sew on at 36 months Time in service with 20 months time in grade, or 28 months time in grade.
You have to have time in rank of 28-36 months before you can sew on senior airman.

The Air Force promotes an Airman First Class (A1C) to Senior Airman upon a commander's recommendation after 36 months time in service and 20 months time in the grade of A1C, or 28 months time in A1C, whichever comes first.
In the US Air Force, "Airman" is a rank (E-2); there are also other ranks with the word "Airman" in them, such as "Airman Basic" (E-1, lower), Airman First Class (E-3, higher) and Senior Airman (E-4, higher still). All four of these ranks are collectively considered the "Airman" ranks. The enlisted ranks above Senior Airman are non-commissioned officer (E-5 and E-6) or senior non-commissioned officer (E-7 through E-9) ranks.
To be eligible for promotion to Airman First Class (A1C), an Airman must serve at least 10 months in the Air Force and possess at least 20 months Time-in-Service (TIS). The promotion is based on the individual's performance and completion of required training, alongside meeting the time criteria.
