Fit For Duty!
 Physical Fitness is a
mission enabler
 Drug-Free Ethic:
 You cannot react quickly and
perform while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs
 Fitness for the Task:
 Your body must be kept in
shape to win (to fly, to do
Search and Rescue, to live a
long and happy life).
 Just like an aircraft, your
body and mind require good
fuel and exercise, as well as
maintenance and rest!
