Mentoring is a relationship in which knowledge and skills are shared between members in a way in which everyone benefits. Often a more senior person is mentoring a junior person, but mentorship can happen between any two individuals. Mentoring will help Airmen and Guardians discover their strengths by achieving their full potential through a structured, trusting mentoring relationship.

U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Matthew Hobbs, a rifleman with Headquarters and Service Company, Marine Barracks Washington, and Gunnery Sgt. Brandon Pizano, the Drill Master at Marine Barracks Washington, discuss the legacy of 8th & I and the core values required to be part of a prestigious unit like MBW in honor of the Corps' 250th birthday and the 224th birthday of “Oldest Post of the Corps”. The Barracks is home to several nationally recognized units, including the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon, the Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, the Marine Band, the Official Marine Corps Color Guard, and the Marine Corps Body Bearers. It is also the site of the Home of the Commandants, which, along with the Barracks, is a registered national historic landmark. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Brynn L. Bouchard) More
