HILL AIR FORCE BASE â To ensure members of the base community are staying resilient during the holidays and beyond, Hillâs community action team has developed an Integrated Resilience Channel.
The IRC, found at www.hill.af.mil/integrated-resilience, delivers education and information through various formats, such as videos and virtual live sessions.
âThis past year we have faced many adversities, both as individuals and as a community,â said Col. Jenise Carroll, 75th Air Base Wing commander. âResilience affords us the capability to deal with change or loss as an inevitable part of life.â
Julie Pinchak, community support coordinator, said the platform will focus on providing a meaningful opportunity for Team Hill members to connect and build personal, team, and organizational resilience.
you? well, we ve had some help with getting these patients kind of set up really well from our colleagues at the army hospital on ft. hood. we spent two to three hours in surgery with one last night and about an hour and a half with another. we had to do procedures on others in the night last night, throughout the overnight period. and we re ongoing evaluation of the assessment of those patients. it s been a busy evening. what your experiencing in terms of the families? how are they holding up? how are you and your team holding up? the families are doing fairly well. we ve been able to make contact with the majority of the soldiers families that are here. some of these soldiers serve far from their original home and there are a couple we have not been able to immediately contact family but we re working with our chaplain services as well as the army to try to establish contact and let loved ones know how they are doing. the families seem to be holding up really well.
to receive a christmas card. thank you to all of the children who made them. and comments, i am a veteran that spent many days in the military hospital and i reject this hospital. when you are sick, any and all cards of hope are welcome. they re reviewed by a team of staff, head by chaplain services. a group of chaplain s reject fourth grader letters. things to do list? we ll continue to follow that story, you ll continue to respond. respond on facebook, too. going crazy over there. coming up, a ban on saying merry christmas and we just talked about how this whole merry christmas thing is getting out of control, and nativity scenes. the war of christmas, congressman doug lamborn is here to explain how his plan is to save christmas. you have a picture worth a thousand words.
that is. nice that they don t have to be overly dressed for the weather. we can tell it s windy. just to give everybody an idea of who is going to be there today besides the president and the first lady who we just saw arriving there s the president now. also the director of chaplain services and jim benson will be the master of ceremonies today. we ll see captain from the united states navy who is retired and secretary of veteran affairs will be there as well. as we just saw, the first lady am place and now the president is in place as well. let s listen in as the start of the ceremony begins.
one of these is tragic. the rate is higher than any of us, anybody in a leadership position anywhere in the army wants. but i will also tell you that the leaders from the head of the department of army level all the way down are absolutely committed with themselves, with the services, with the support and programs to continue to tackle this issue head on. but what can the leaders really do? ft. hood was supposed to be the showcase for suicide prevention efforts in the u.s. military. several months ago, they began a number of programs there trying to build up resilience, if you will, amongst the troops. offer kocounselling. offer help, chaplain services. medical and psychology services but clearly it s not working to the extent the military wants it to. are there any new ideas out there? not right now according to commanders. they ll keep trying to work away at this tragedy.
