Do you have anyone on RallyPoint that you would like to single out for their "above and beyond" acts of mentorship or assistance? Feel free to mention them and please give a brief description of how they go that extra mile looking out for members of our RallyPoint family.

I enjoy interacting with LTC (Join to see) COL (Join to see) LTC (Join to see) they seem to keep me pretty grounded and there is some mentorship here and there. Thanks gentlemen!

Of course I can't forget my Partner in Crime (PIC) CMSgt (Join to see) who does her best not to keep me grounded! Thanks g/f!

CSM (Join to see) takes one to know one, the disagreement and banter on ideas between individuals is what makes this great.

I'll always be indbebted to CSM (Join to see), who has had the single most professional influence on my career. CSM (Join to see) has been a friend and mentor who I know monitors what we are doing for the profession here on Rally Point, though his day job keeps him quite busy. Those two epitomize the best of the NCO corps and provided the type of Ranger Mentorship and Leadership to an officer just trying to be good enough.

As for Rally Point specifically, I seek out opinions of CSM (Join to see), Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS, COL Charles Williams and CMSgt (Join to see), because they will have some opinion or take or post that will make me think...proving that if one wants to learn, improve and get better, mentorship can be found regardless of rank, experience, etc.

Others such as CPT (Join to see) and SFC Mark Merino among many others, keep it going and keep me logging on.

In my opinion, this is the most balanced, positive social media outlet on Facebook for the professional soldier, sailor, airmen, marine, coastie (?) and veteran. All our welcome, all voices are heard, we keep each other in check and though we may not want to admit it, we all learn something every time we log on.

I will say that I look forward to anyone's feedback and mentorship here. It is possible to Mentor a person that even out ranks you I think. We all have value in this as some skills don't really belong to a certain rank and can be absent at any level. But I look forward to comments from the following.

CSM (Join to see) MAJ Carl Ballinger COL Charles Williams BG David Fleming III COL Jason Smallfield, PMP, CFM, CM CSM (Join to see) MAJ Ken Landgren SSG(P) (Join to see) SMSgt Minister Gerald A. Thomas

Just to name a few.
