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.

“We had three aircraft last week. We were the first in and we are also the last to be deployed. And therefore we’re the end of the deployment of the exercise.”

“The soldiers were happy to be at last deployed to Romania. They had been envious of the people leaving last week. So now they are happy to be here and to start the exercise.”

“We are talking about 29 degrees plus and sun. And at home it snows. Why shouldn’t they be happy? They were waiting for this exercise and for this opportunity since an exercise with the VJTF brigade in Germany last year.”
