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.

Preparation:
The Marine will stand facing the anchor point with the TRX at mid-length and their arms bent at their sides. They will place tension in the TRX by slightly leaning back.
Execution:
The Marine will step back with one leg and cross it behind the weight-bearing leg. They will drop the hips toward the deck, keeping the chest up. The Marine will go as deep as they can, but will not go deeper than having their thigh parallel to the deck. The back foot will hover one to two inches off the deck. The Marine will drive from the bottom back up to the starting position.
Common Mistakes: - Letting the weight-bearing leg’s knee go over the toe
- Dropping the chest
- Letting the toe of the rear foot touch the deck
