Thank you @RANDCorporation for this incredible report on the harmful impacts of the outdated body composition program. Special thanks to @JeannetteHaynie and @joslynmfleming for the incredible research! https://t.co/IqDzXz1k7R

Body composition standards were developed decades ago from unrepresentative populations, and did not necessarily represent healthy standards for a diverse force. https://t.co/XnvsYUASH3 via @RANDCorporation

It’s been a great year, tell us how the WIT helped and what we should tackle next year.

[Exceptional Families of the Military @EFMVoice]

Your #EFMVoice is important. With the data from last year we championed for policies/legislation that gave #EFMP families a greater voice.

For our #military families with #EFMP

Thank you @TomColeOK04 for sending this letter to DHA. The 2021 NDAA ECHO Improvement Act was passed and EFMP families need implementation for Respite care.

The current housing market is impacting many military families with rising rents & home prices. We are working to provide immediate relief, increase stability & expand financial readiness resources. @DeptofDefense @Military1Source

@zach_ota @sean_thethinker @MCCSQuantico But it will. The issue isn’t which ribbons the issue is we put a larger stack on the male than the female. Note the female MSgt next to these with no ribbons. What kind of message does that send our Marines - both male and female? We can do better.

[MarineWIT @marine_wit]

@sean_thethinker @MCCSQuantico Easy fix: give the female Marine mannequin an appropriate stack of medals/ribbons. The PX is where the ribbons and medals live!

So when will this actually get fixed? The last update was almost 40 years ago - a lot has changed. @DeptofDefense

It’s a pleasure to speak to groups like @GirlSecurity_ who are training the next generation of national security leaders. Diversity, equity, inclusion, & accessibility initiatives are crucial to advancing our national security. https://t.co/vAj4hMjndI
