Once a new simmer has mastered the simming basics, his or her mentor may begin to take a more relaxed role. But there isn't one clear time when this happens! Some simmers may have a great handle on the basics as a new ensign, while others may need a mentor's help for many months aboard. However, after the first mission, mentors should check in with their mentees about '''twice a month'''. They should make it clear, however, that they are still always available to their mentees.

===Finishing the Mentor/Mentee Relationship===
===Ongoing Mentor/Mentee Relationship===
Ideally, mentor and mentee will part ways sometime between the mentee's promotion to lieutenant JG and promotion to lieutenant. Again, this is slightly vague, but it is a little different for everyone, and while some mentors may be able to congratulate their mentees and end their relationship at that first promotion, other mentees may need a little more time.
After promotion to lieutenant and beyond, the mentoring focus of the mentee will change to help them become a staff member. That means they may get assigned a mentee of their own. It's possible you may continue mentoring them depending on your rank, or they may change to be mentored by a more senior member of staff. This helps guide them into a senior staff role, and possibly a leadership role, in the future.
 
Regardless, it can be very gratifying to know that one's earned his/her mentor's respect and confidence, so every effort should be made by the mentor to congratulate the mentee and explain that their official relationship has come to an end. That's not at all to say that mentor and mentee can no longer interact, of course, but rather that the mentee has mastered the tools and techniques that the mentor has passed along and is fully ready to sim without a safety net.
