General Stenner – AFRC Wingman Day

Hello, everyone. As you know, every day is Wingman Day. However, the Command has set aside today for all of us to reflect and review the principles that prepare us to identify and support Airmen and their families in times of need.

Today, we’ll focus on the four pillars of Comprehensive Fitness – Physical, Mental, Spiritual, and Social fitness. These are the building blocks of a good Wingman, and will prepare us for when times are difficult. They also provide a baseline for helping our fellow Airmen and families improve their resilience during life’s unique and everyday challenges. Your program leaders for today will provide Wingmen information and materials to get you going.

The goal today is our active involvement with coworkers when discussing how to improve our levels of Comprehensive Fitness and become better Wingmen along the way. To accomplish this, I ask that you open up to each other and share stories about the people you have helped and any help you may have received. We all have something to learn from each other. During today’s discussions about the four pillars of Comprehensive Fitness I believe we’ll gain some insight that will improve and strengthen our resiliency, and prepare us to be the best Wingmen we can be.

Now, I’ll turn it over to the discussion leaders. I thank you all for your enduring strength and support to our nation’s defense and I ask that we do all we can to help preserve that strength by watching out for one another and never leaving our Wingmen.

Leaders, over to you.
