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.

Find a mentor and become a mentor! It’s easy to do both by registering in MyVector. In 2021, we completely redesigned the Mentoring platform in MyVector based on your feedback. New features include:

Robert Rosenthal, with the 8th Air Force during D-Day 81 celebrations, June 5, 2025.

U.S. military personnel are in France to mark the 81st anniversary of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. More than 80 commemorative events take place from June 3 to 8 across approximately 40 communities in the Normandy region, including a bilateral ceremony at the Normandy American Cemetery on June 6 and an airborne operation on June 8.
