Tools for New Members
New Member Handbook. This is your go-to reference as a new member. For more detailed information, your mentor or Flotilla Staff Officer for Member Training (FSO-MT) can help you access the Auxiliary Manual (AUXMAN).
Mentee Handbook. This general guide provides suggestions on getting acquainted and means to communicate, tips on setting goals and summarizing sessions, suggested activities, networking, providing feedback, and transitioning from the perspective of being a mentee. (Courtesy of Chronus.com)
You can make a request to your Flotilla Commander, designee or another senior member of your flotilla, to help you find potential mentors who would be a good match for your needs and interests. If one is not available to you in your flotilla or you would like to have an external Mentor as a secondary resource, your Flotilla Staff Officer for Member Training (FSO-MT) may help you.
