What does the professional development officer really do?

You've been a member for 4 years and are a "Recruiter"...  Yet, you don't know what a PDO does?

The PDO advises squadron members on the PD program, helps them select a specialty track, tracks their PD achievements, and was once described to me as a "cheerleader" of sorts.

I like it when the assignment was Senior Program Officer. The dark side version of the Cadet Program Officer.

Professional development does throw a lot of people off.
