If you or your organization produces content related to personal development, lessons learned, strategy, organizational leadership, etc, we want to hear from you.
DM us what you’ve got & let us know when you publish something that matters to the force. We want to share it.
"Mentorship is not only superior to subordinate; in many cases it is experience based." Junior officers may look to their Commander for mentorship but should not overlook the experience NCOs and Warrant Officers bring to the table.
