What are you doing to teach your soldiers about health and wellness, outside of PRT and MRT?

I always told my folks about the tripod. In order for it to be strong and sturdy all three legs had to be equal in length and strength or it would tip over and crash. The tripod I am referring to is one leg was mental fitness--never stop learning...always strive to make yourself better...read, question, learn. The second leg was physical...have to maintain physical fitness for stress relief and lifelong balance. The third and final leg is the spiritual leg. Whatever that means to you. Every person is spiritual being, some protestant, some catholic, some jewish, some muslim etc etc...Get deep in to it and rely on it. It will carry you through any dark times that surround you. I went into more depth on each but you get the jest of it. If any of these are shorter than another it leans and puts stress on the others. They all have worked to remain in balance.

There is a 2 way communication that needs to happen with this. One for the NCO to bring the attention on regards of the matter and to supply the SM with support and tricks to help them. The other mean of communication is the SM has to listen to what the NCO has to say and to apply it. A lot of SM won't listen because it's a different generation, they do what THEY want to do.

You just have to find that line where you can cross to get their attention for the SM to listen.

An excellent question. Im interested to see what comes of this post.
