Wing commanders and command chief master sergeants across Air Mobility Command took part in a one-day conference at Scott AFB, Ill., on Comprehensive Airmen Fitness. The command began employing CAF in July 2010 in the hopes of creating a “sense of belonging in the Air Force community.” It’s about building a more resilient force by focusing on airmen’s mental, physical, spiritual, and social fitness. The conference addressed progress made to date and upcoming changes. For example, AMC expects to hire a “dedicated CAF/resiliency coordinator” at the command level as well as coordinators at the base level. The command also intends to launch a new survey in the coming months to gather data on CAF initiatives. “We hope this summit helps to shape the way ahead to include a sustained, systematic, and standardized approach to creating an enduring culture of wellness,” said CMSgt. David Spector, AMC command chief. (Scott release by MSgt. Scott Sturkol)
Unit commanders are being told to separate service members who can’t shave their cheeks and chin for medical reasons for more than a year, according to new guidance from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
