Promotion Below-The-Zone 2E131 / Satellite/Wideband Comm Apprentice Example SrA Below the Zone (BTZ) Winning Nomination for 2Q 2008
Key Points to Writing WRITE!!! The more you do it, the better you get. Ask for HELP, the only person looking out for #1 is you. The only person looking out for your subordinates is YOU! Use a spell checker.  F7 works good in MS Word. Use various writing resources like Merriam-Webster Online.

The following SrA Below the Zone (BTZ) example has been taken out of IMT.  If you have anything you would like to submit, please do so.  If you have found this information useful, please let me know. Everyone of these letters has taken considerable amount of time to put together.  Please treat yourself to something special from one of the ads on the page.  We will both get something out of it.  (All money gathered pays for hosting fees and domain fees.  HONESTLY, when I see money come in it also prompts me to work harder on the site.)

Note:
Very good BTZ package.  Leadership was captured through who and how many were trained.There are a couple of things that stand out. 

• The person read a book from the CSAF reading list

• Dorm council rep - there isn't enough people sitting in these positions normally that do so for the right reasons

• Continual volunteer accomplishments
