Squadron Assessment
Greetings,
Attached is a google form for a squadron assessment. Using the Stop, Start, Continue method – I would like you all to take the time to fill out an honest assessment of your unit. I want you to evaluate everything the unit does and tell me if we should stop doing it, continue doing it, or start doing something new.
This is a perfect opportunity for you to be able to tell us what you think of the program. I am also curious to hear about suggestions for new things to do.
Please click here to access the assessment form.
Thank you for your time and dedication to this program!
1st Lt Michael Mazanec
