COLUMBUS AIR FORCE BASE, Miss. --  Organizations from around the base banded together to raise awareness of the Comprehensive Airman Fitness program over a continental breakfast Dec. 14 in the 14th Mission Support Group building.

The CAF is a program that helps to improve the physical, social, mental and spiritual aspects of Airman's lives and communities.

Organizations and programs tied to the CAF program include the chapel, Airman and Family Readiness Center, Family Advocacy Program, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment, Drug Demand Reduction and Prevention, Health and Wellness Center, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response, Military Equal Opportunity, Health Care Integrator and the School Liaison Office.

Many of these organizations were active in the breakfast and gave information about each group and what it provides to Airmen.

The DDRP was adamant in saying that the organization is not just for Airmen with drug issues, but also for stress relief and youth drug education camps and seminars.

"If you're having a problem with anger or anything pretty much we can sit down and we can talk to you and hopefully help you get through it," said Tech. Sgt. Renee Oliviel, 14th Medical Operations Squadron.

The HWC focused on maintaining a proper diet, participating in physical activity and letting Airmen know that multiple options to quit smoking are available.

All of the organizations involved provided an abundance of information to help Airmen become aware of the Comprehensive Airman Fitness program and embrace it.
