Questions and answers

How are Senior Airman Below-the-Zone quotas calculated?

Eligible Airmen multiplied by 15 percent equals the quota. Example: 13 eligible Airmen x 0.15 = 1.95, or 2 SrA BTZ quotas. (Note: Fractions of 0.5 or higher are rounded up.) (paragraph 8)

Can unit quotas be combined for Senior Airman Below-the-Zone selections?

Quota aggregation is not allowed. Unit quotas may not be combined to form a group. Units will submit eligible Airmen into one combined pool and submit to the CBB. (paragraph 2)

What must large units do when Airmen are TDY, on leave, or projected for reassignment?

Large units must consider all qualified individuals meeting TIG and TIS requirements, even if they are TDY, on leave, or have a projected reassignment with a report no later than date during or subsequent to the first processing month. (paragraph 5)

What records are required for all Senior Airman Below-the-Zone boards?

Selection records for all SrA BTZ boards will include the SURF Report, all decoration citations, and nominee’s DAF Form 1206. (paragraph 7)

What formatting requirements apply to the DAF Form 1206?

All DAF Form 1206s must be single-spaced, use Times New Roman 12-point font, typed in narrative performance statement format, and use only the front side of the form. Acronyms/Abbreviations should only be used from the approved Air Force Acronym and Abbreviation List found at https://www.afpc.af.mil/CareerManagement/Acronyms/ unless noted by an approved category. Acronym lists are not authorized on the DAF Form 1206. (paragraph 8)
