NET volunteers often meet neighbors who want to be part of their NET's mission, but do not have the time and/or inclination to complete Basic NET Training. Having them sign up as an ATV is ideal in this situation. NETs will find these neighbors have specific skills or interests that correspond well to VSFs. For example, a medical professional who lives in the area is ideally suited to enlist under [[VSF 08: Medical & Mental Health|VSF 08]]. A neighbor who possesses a HAM license (or wants to get one) should enlist under [[Radio Communication Procedures|VSF 02]]. And so on. Team Leaders should view these ATVs as opportunities to round out the skillsets available on their teams. | NET volunteers often meet neighbors who want to be part of their NET's mission, but do not have the time and/or inclination to complete Basic NET Training.
