U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Abdul Rahman Gaitan, 821st Contingency Response Squadron aerial porter, is among the first to be granted a religious accommodation for a shaving waiver based on his Muslim faith after the Air Force released new guidance in 2016 to accommodate individuals with religious requests. Gaitan understands the importance of resiliency, specifically spiritual resilience which is defined as the ability to sustain an individual's sense of self and purpose through a set of beliefs, principles or values. Spiritual resiliency, along with mental, physical and social, are recognized as the four pillars that comprise the Comprehensive Airmen Fitness initiative intended on maximizing the whole Airman concept. Each domain has separate key concepts, but all add together to create a checklist that can help one drive toward success. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Liliana Moreno
