Got an E-mail from the National Commander asking for mentor for the new OE program.
Just sent in my application. Anyone else going to step up?
I'm planning to apply as a participant in the track, not a mentor.
Good on ya for stepping up.
I won't be applying as I am not eligigle to particpate. I don't have and will not be getting a Tech Rating in any of the Mission areas (CP, AE or ES)
They all require work at the unit level and I am a HHQ person that does not particpate in a local unit (or even my home wing anymore.) No time to do so.
It's a good track but my Masters Ratings in Public Affairs and Recruiting & Retention will have to do.
Oh well. :-\
I am going to be signing up as a mentor as well. I wanted to make sure my Wing CC was OK before I did it.
There's nothing that says you can't go back to a local unit at some point in time. Perhaps you'll get burned out from PA at Higher Headquarters and want to take a break. I've served at higher headquarters on several occaissions and after a while I find it refreshing to return to the local level for a while. I find that it really refocuses my efforts in a way that they better benefit the members.
Yep, sent my application in a few days ago. Hopefully I won't be the only one in all of West Texas, but who knows.

I'm considering applying as a participant, too. After I finish, I'll mentor someone. I need to BTDT before showing someone else the ropes. But I appreciate everyone volunteering.
Dropped my mentor paperwork yesterday and will apply for the track when it goes hot.
I'm waiting for the Organizational Mediocrity track, myself. ;D

HA! got you beat. I have the executive rating ;D

I have considered it. If you guys here think I would be a worthy mentor, I will submit.

Yes, you would be! ;D Do it.
A chance to mentor, even in a small way perhaps, a future leader of Civil Air Patrol.
Yeah, I'm planning to put in an application, probably next weekend.
