MENTOR PROGRAM

1. TCCM is currently soliciting applications for the FY2023 Recruit
Company Mentor Program.
2. The program is an essential part of the development of our new
shipmates, and it is a rewarding experience for both the new 
recruits and the members participating. Mentors visit TCCM to meet
with their Recruit Company at three points during the eight-week
program. We encourage a diverse and robust pool of candidates to
apply in order to increase recruit exposure to high-performing
Officer and Enlisted leaders and to provide the highest level of
support and guidance to our newest Coast Guard members. Every
year, TCCM receives an overwhelming response to the solicitation
with countless high-performing members applying for the program.
Due to the number of available companies, we cannot select every
applicant. We encourage interested members who were not selected
in previous years to reapply.
3. Mentor Application Requirements and Specifics:
a. Enlisted: E-7 and above.
b. Officers: CWO2-CWO4, O-3 and above.
c. A combination of 1 Officer and 1 Enlisted member from the same
geographic area may request to co-mentor a recruit company.
d. The following 2022 Coast Guard-wide award winners will be
reserved a mentor spot for FY2023: EPOY, Munro, McShan,
Jarvis, and Witherspoon award winners.
e. TCCM anticipates 43 companies convening in FY23.
f. TCCM is not responsible for funding mentor travel costs, to
include award winners.
g. Commanding officers are strongly encouraged to support
participation.
4. The application submission deadline is 19 Aug 22. All qualified
applicants will be considered by a selection board held at TCCM and
approved by the TCCM Commanding Officer. All applicants will be
notified of their status via e-mail NLT 16 SEP 22.
5. During the selection process, priority will be given to
personnel with recent operational experience at units with
Non-Rates assigned, strong record of performance, public speaking
skills, and command endorsement. The program objective is to
provide recruits contact with members that can help answer
questions and help guide them through the challenges and
opportunities that they will soon face. Mentors should be
inspiring, easy to talk with, squared away, and be some of our
most high-performing members. Mentors should anticipate a public
speaking role at graduation.
