Mentoring

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.

Rear Adm. Daniel Neptun, commander of the 1st Coast Guard District, Chief Petty Officers Erik Watson and William Lefever and Petty Officer 1st Class Joshua Perkins and Scott Richards, all Coast Guard Surfmen, speak the Coast Guard Surfman's Creed.

The Surfman's Creed:  

I will, to the best of my ability, pursue each  mission with the commitment, compassion,  and courage inherent in the title of Surfman. 

I will endeavor to reinforce the worldwide reputation of our forefathers in the Lifeboat Community. 

I will maintain a guardian's eye on my crew at  all times, and keep a cool, yet deliberate, hand on the throttle. 

I will give of myself, and my knowledge as those  who gave to me; so as the line of Coast Guard Surfman will live forever.

I will ensure that my supervisors rest easy with the knowledge that I am at  the helm, no matter what the conditions,  

I will never unnecessarily jeopardize myself, my boat, or my crew;  But will do so freely to rescue those in peril. 

I will strive with dedication and determination to bring credit upon Coast Guard Surfman, past and future.
