I volunteer a lot, I do self improvement classes, and I help my office with process improvement. But I don't do any of that with the goal of BTZ, though that would be nice recognition. I'm not just trying to get BTZ though, because I feel like Airmen with BTZ as a goal don't work as hard as they did as an A1C once they put on SRA due to BTZ. I work hard because I work hard.

I agree with working hard because it's what we should do, however striving for BTZ in my eyes is a good thing. I worked hard with volunteering on and off base, went to school, did self improvement classes and a lot of other things to include honor guard that got me BTZ. it was nice because it was recognizing the individual for going above and beyond however just by getting BTZA it doesn't mean you're better off than others. If you get it GREAT! if not you will still succeed if you want to. But you have a good point in regards to some not working as hard as they did to get it. It's important to keep the hard work ethic going.

It can be tough based on where you are stationed and who else is competing against you. I know an A1C that probably would have made it at the first unit I was a part of, but he didn't at our GSU.

It looks like you are doing all the right things for the right reasons. I would concur to a degree that the shear number of folks I have seen over my career that make BTZ and then end up not making SSgt till a cycle or so after their BTZ board peers.
