🏃 WORKOUT WEDNESDAY

Strong looks different on everyone. Supercharge Your Day with Exercise Snacks!

Short bursts of exercise, also called exercise snacks, can be a great way to improve your health, even if you don’t have time for a long workout. Sitting for too long and having a sedentary or inactive lifestyle is bad for your health, but quick exercise breaks can help.

Exercise snacks are a fantastic way to add more movement into your day, but they don’t replace a regular exercise routine. Aim to combine them for well-rounded fitness!

Whether you’re training for a fitness assessment, preparing for the mission, or simply working toward feeling stronger and healthier—progress starts with showing up.

💪 Build strength.
🏃 Build endurance.
🧠 Build confidence.
❤️ Build healthy habits.

Your readiness starts with taking care of yourself.

💉 VACCINE MYTH VS. FACT

Let’s talk about immunizations.

There is a lot of information out there—and it can be difficult to know what to trust.

Instead of relying on social media or hearsay, talk with your healthcare team about your specific questions and vaccination needs.

Your healthcare team can help you understand:
✔️ Which vaccines are recommended
✔️ When they’re recommended
✔️ What to expect
✔️ Questions or concerns you may have

When it comes to your health, ask questions. Get informed. Make a plan.

The back-to-school routine is officially back. How are YOU doing?

Between work, school, appointments, practices, homework, and everything in between, it’s easy to put yourself last.

This week, take a moment to check in:

💭 How am I feeling?
😴 Am I getting enough rest?
🥗 Am I taking care of my body?
🧘 Have I made time for myself?

You can’t pour from an empty cup.

Make yourself part of your own priority list.

📚Being enrolled in college full-time may allow your child to stay enrolled in a TRICARE health plan until he or she graduates or turns age 23—whichever comes first. (Otherwise, eligibility for “regular” TRICARE coverage will end at age 21.)

Before your child turns 21, you’ll need to go to your local Uniformed Services ID card office to show that your child:

📍Is a full-time student at an approved institution of higher learning in pursuit of an associate’s degree or higher—you’ll need a letter from the school’s registrar office to demonstrate this.
📍Isn’t married
📍Depends on you (their sponsor) for more than 50% of his or her financial support

📢 Early Closure Reminder- Our facility will be closing at 11:30 today as our team participates in monthly readiness training.

Readiness training ensures our medical professionals remain prepared to provide exceptional care both at home station and wherever the mission takes us.

Physical activity isn’t just good for your body—it can also support your mental well-being.

You don’t need a gym or an hour-long workout.

Try:
🚶 A 10-minute walk
🧘 Stretching
🏋️ A quick strength workout
🚲 A bike ride
🎶 Dancing to your favorite song

A little movement is still movement.

What’s getting you moving today? 👇

📌 Did you know DEERS is the key to your TRICARE eligibility?

The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) keeps track of service members, retirees, veterans, and family members who are eligible for military benefits including TRICARE coverage.

Keeping your DEERS information accurate helps ensure you and your family can access the health care benefits you’ve earned. Outdated information could lead to delays in care, prescription access issues, unexpected bills, or problems with your TRICARE coverage.

Learn more about checking and updating your DEERS information:

The Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System database shows if you and your family members are eligible for and enrolled in TRICARE benefits.
