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.

A chain of custody ceremony was recently held at the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, Oct. 15, 2018. U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Justin Kent, cousin in law of U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Marshall F. Kipina, arrives at DPAA to receive Kipina’s remains. Staff Sgt. Kipina went missing in action (MIA) in July, 1966, when his aircraft went missing during a night surveillance mission from Phu Bai Airfield over Attapu Province, Laos People’s Democratic Republic. The remains will be transported to Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, where he will be buried with full military honors. DPAA conducts global search, recovery, and laboratory operations to provide the fullest possible accounting for our missing personnel to their families and the nation. (U.S. Army video by Sgt.
