The Air Force wants to check the post-deployment health of airmen two times: immediately after they return and after 90 to 180 days have passed. USAF just began implementing the twice-over assessments this month. Airmen fill out a four-page DOD form via the Web when prompted by their unit deployment manager. The electronic form then goes to the airman’s medical treatment facility for professional review.
The Air Force wants to promote working out, healthy eating habits, and a holistic approach to well-being for both Airmen and Guardians as part of a new “Culture of Fitness” initiative announced Sept. 18.
