The Air Force program Wingmen Connect was created to foster an Air Force culture where members can feel comfortable seeking and receiving help from supporting organizations and experienced wingmen across all ranks. Many Airmen in smaller units have gone through hardships in their lives. Through Wingmen Connect, those Airmen can volunteer to be mentors and share their experiences. Volunteers go through training and are vetted before being officially appointed by their squadron commanders to share their own personal experiences publicly, with people who are going through similar situations for the first time. For information on how to set up a Wingmen Connect program, contact 34is.WingmenConnect@us.af.mil.
