and cancer. Like other Americans, military warriors, past and present,
and their families feel the effects of obesity through negative health
impacts and out-of-pocket costs.
For example, the inability to meet service weight and physical fitness standards is a common reason for early discharge.

pilot and founder of the Air Corps Aerial acrobatics team the Flying
Trapeze.

antibiotics are needed to make it better. This belief is not true.

It was a warm morning when I sat down to interview a client who had
received multiple sessions of training and counseling through the Army
Community Service Financial Readiness Program. She wished to remain
