Heartland-LeMay Chapter
Mentoring
Attention
in the area! Attention in the area! There is an opportunity
to mentor appointees. Do you remember what it was like
getting shipped off to BCT? Here's an opportunity to come
full circle to ensure that our new appointees meet BCT in
the right attitude and physical condition.
- The liaison officers are the
main contacts with the appointees
-
If an appointee desires
an AOG mentor, the LO contacts head LO who would select
a AOG name from our list to the appointee (contact Ed
Yong, cptyong@juno.com, to get on the list for the
Heartland-LeMay Chapter)
-
As for time involved, the
beginning may be at least an hour to meet and talk
-
From that initial
meeting, if the appointee wants to meet more in person,
it may be an hour per week
-
"Meeting" after the
initial contact may end up being phone calls or e-mails
depending on the appointee
-
Should the appointee wish
to continue the mentor relationship, it may carry
through at the four years at the Academy that would
include letter writing, e-mail, and perhaps in person
meetings when cadet comes home on leave
- A
lifetime friendship may develop
Basically, a
mentor is there for the appointee when the appointee needs a
mentor to talk to. I hope that helps provide a better
picture of the appointee-mentor relation.
We are also hosting a Leader of
Character high school award for a worthy junior. This
gives the award winner a year to think about the potential
of going to USAFA.
- 2008: Papillion-La Vista
High School winner is Gina Mancuso. Below is
Chapter President, TAD Draper presenting Gina Mancuso
the Leader of Character Award.
