Veterans Education Advisor | Host & Producer of the Acknowledge 2 Action Podcast 🐦⬛ 🗝️ | U.S. Air Force Air National Guard Airman
MEPS- Military Entrance Processing Station. The Military is a very acronym heavy organization. MEPS may be the first acronym a service member gets introduced to. For some Veterans this process was 😲and for some it was 🙂as briefed and described by the recruiter. Regardless it is an experience that all who served in the military experienced. As a Veteran and current member of the Air National Guard, I think about the acronym MEPS differently. I now see MEPS as means to address and work on the critical components of my well being -Mental -Emotional, -Physical -Spiritual Pre-Military MEPS= Military Entrance Processing Station Post-Military MEPS= Mental, Emotional, Physical and Spiritual (maintenance) MEPS introduced me to the military formally, objectively and administratively. MEPS for me now is a guiding force to acknowledge and take action to address and maintain my Mental, Emotional, Physical and Spiritual state of affairs. This version of MEPS goes well beyond the Veteran and Service Member population. It is applicable to all navigating the complexities of life. We all have our ways to address, improve, maintain, etc. our well being. Information, resources and guidance can be incredibly overwhelming like our initial experience with MEPS. That’s ok. Focus on what works for you. Acknowledge this, Accept it, Process it, Plan for ways to take holistic, respectful and empowering Action(s). Be good to yourself. I hope this message encourages a personalized and compassionate approach to your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health and fitness approach. “Commit to getting MEPS Fit” #wellbeing #acknowledge2action #fitnessmotivation #emotionalwellbeing #mentalfitness

Sleep apnea among military veterans: When we think of our brave military veterans, we often visualize valiant soldiers fighting battles on distant shores. Yet, there’s another battle many veterans face at home — sleep apnea. While anyone can develop sleep apnea, our veterans have unique risk factors due to their service experiences, such as exposure to environmental factors. In Orthodontic Practice US, Claire Szewczyk discusses types of sleep apnea, sleep apnea symptoms, and how dentists can help treat military veterans suffering from sleep breathing disorders.

Veterans are at an increased risk for low testosterone, with research showing up to a 65% decrease in serum testosterone levels as a consequence of stress endured during military service [1]. 🪖 Veterans experience a lack of sleep, elevated stress, physical strain or injury, and mental health issues, all of which highly impact testosterone levels. Unfortunately, with low testosterone being significantly underdiagnosed in the military and VA health system, veterans are finding it difficult to get the treatment they need. At Frontier MD, we recognize the importance of addressing the specific needs of veterans and strive to support our military community in achieving optimal health and wellness. 🇺🇸💪🏼 Take the first step towards better health by booking a free consultation with us today. Be sure to ask about our military and first responder discounts. 🗓️ Source [1]: doi: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2019.08.015 #FrontierMD #MensHealth #Veteran #Testosterone #TRT

Geoffrey Dardia, FMCHC, who founded the SOF Health Initiative discusses why good, quality sleep is critical for peak performance, and life in general. Lack of sleep is a common challenge for active duty and former special operation force members. Military personnel experience sleep problems at higher rates than the general population. A 2023 RAND report found that 48.6% of military personnel surveyed had poor sleep quality, and recent studies have reported that insomnia affects roughly 22.8% of military personnel. Our organization, along with partner organizations are standing ready to assist you if you're struggling with sleep, and wellness in general.

Do you encourage military-connected people you know, as well as, your friends, family and coworkers to manage their stress, do self-care and have healthy routines? August is National Wellness Month, a great time to emphasize how important self care is, particularly for people who are serving or have served in the armed forces - and for their family members. Their “service before self mindset,” frequent moves, and fast-paced lives can make it hard for military-connected people to take time for themselves, focus on the positive and stay socially connected. This coping strategy is well ingrained by the time they leave military service and stays with them. It is rare for military members to ask for support when they struggle. Military family members are also independent and stoic. The best thing civilian Veteran Champions can do is to develop trusting relationships with them and get to know him/her well enough to respond when their behaviors change - a potential sign of struggle.

Travis Air Force Base Families, come request your CareMaps & get your questions answered today, live & in person at the 2024 Airshow! Jessica Hulter, our Military Family SME & DoD Innovation Manager, & Kat Williams, MBA, our Director of Business Development, are excited to help you get the resources you & your family needs. You can find our booth in the Innovation Tent. Why would a Travis AFB family want a CareMap? CareStarter is dedicated to supply up-to-date, vetted resources that take TRICARE (where medical) or are affordable, and that are accepting patients. When you use a CareStarter CareMap, you can say goodbye to calling provider after provider just trying to find one that will take you. CareStarter was founded by parents of children with special medical and educational needs, and is staffed by parents of EFMP-enrolled children. Many of us have direct experience dealing with the challenges faced by military families with EFMP-enrolled dependents. It's important to us that you get the help you seek– even if you aren't enrolled in the EFM program. For more information about CareStarter's pilot program with Travis AFB, visit the link in the comments. #innovation #PhoenixSpark Phoenix Spark #militaryfamilies #militaryfamily #milspouse #milspouses #wingsoversolano #afwerx #airforce #healthcare #patientsarepeople #carestartshere
