On Thursday, Sept 24, more than 30 Airmen will be learning about the power of positive vision and beliefs. As part of the USAF 50 Summits Challenge, these Ft. Drum, NY based 20th ASOS Air Force members will engage with several base speakers as they explore the aspects of spiritual and mental resiliency. The goal is to boost knowledge and skills regarding the stress-busting power of a set of healthy coping skills.
But unlike many similar lecture events, this lesson in resiliency doesn't end in the classroom. The following day, many of the Airmen will be hiking to the summit of Vermont's highest mountain, Mt. Mansfield as part of their official resiliency training. At 4,393ft, this peak will provide a moderately difficult hike for the more than two dozen Airmen participating in the event. Time spent in the outdoors, especially working in a team setting, is a time-tested method for practicing and improving resiliency skills. Nature provides spiritual inspiration for many, while the challenge of the tough hike tests physical and mental fortitude. And what would a big hike like this be without the social skills found from working together as a team to achieve a common goal?
We're excited for this great turn out and looking forward to the inspiring stories that come from this two day resiliency boosting event. Good luck Team Vermont!
