THE PENTAGON – For many years, the Army’s Performance Triad recommended soldiers get a good night’s sleep, physical activity, and healthy nutrition, but all that is about changing. In a bow to “who we really are” Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley announced yesterday a new Triad of “unprotected sex, steroids, and chewing tobacco.”
“This is a wellness initiative we know our soldiers will get behind,” Milley said, “because they're already fully invested in these things.”
While civilians are skeptical about long-term health hazards associated with tobacco, Medical Command leaders strongly support the initiative.
