<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Not saying no, but keep in mind that your PRIMARY mentor is going to be your first line supervisor. The chain of command exists for a reason. Not only for command but for the betterment of the Service-member. It is their charge to train you to be their eventual replacement.<br /><br />Every command is a little different, so any questions you have will be nuanced with that in mind. Foster the relationship with your first line supervisor and become a sponge. In cases he can&#39;t or won&#39;t answer, and is unwilling to direct you to the place to find said answers come back here. We&#39;ve got a lot of knowledge. We&#39;ll help you find the answers. Feel free to PM me anytime. I&#39;m not Navy, but I&#39;ve got a fair bit of time on ships and can probably point you to the right person or source.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>AN Tabias Edwards<br />As a Naval Reservist it will be a bit more difficult determining who is a good mentor since you see them one weekend a month, but keep your eyes and ears open. Most times your first line supervisor can provide you insight for growth, however there always is that one or two other sailors that stand out as it’s obvious. Should that person not be your first line supervisor simply seek out friendship initially and mentorship will naturally follow in most instances. As prior Navy enlisted both active duty and as a reservist the mentors throughout my enlisted career became obvious, and they knowingly as well as unknowingly provided me career growth and guidance. I wish you the best with your Naval career.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Speaking as a reservist, primarily ask around your unit and NOSC staff for what you need to do on and off drill weekend. you will be doing some NKO courses off of drill weekend based on the plan of the drill weekend. Reservist are able to reschedule future drill dates to different days as well as additional drills periods (which are split into periods 1 &amp;2 that count as Active duty days) through their NSIPs and let the chain know. set up your 2 week annual training with your command as well, because if done near the end of the FY funding will be tight in some cases. also for ATs, read your orders once approved after submitting them and getting approved in NROWS for the travel voucher at the end. you will get payment within 5 business days but don&#39;t use any of it until GTCC is zero balanced. Important keep a original and minimum 3 copies of everything because paperwork can be lost, especially if your doing work up for future mobilizations through volunteering or voluntold. your reserve chain is your initial guidance and will help with berthing and getting situated in the reserves, and get to know the NOSC staff when possible since it can help to keep them in good graces for down the line.
