APPLY HERE...

Here's how it works...

Mission Statement:


To help Veterans to maintain and create a strong, resilient, and bulletproof physique and mind of a warrior, built upon a foundation of physical and mental health while maintaining an exciting and familiar atmosphere of brotherhood personally tailored to each veteran's specific needs.  

​

FAT Program

Specific Purpose:

The fitness and Tranquility Program (F.A.T.) is an internal program that will service members of  Operation Charlie Bravo who would like to improve or maintain their physical and mental fitness.  This program will address common issues limiting veterans such as pain, lack of motivation, and more.  The F.A.T. program will help Veterans establish and maintain good health and fitness habits; addressing injuries, long term goals, scheduling, and diet. The execution and building of these good habits through F.A.T. will seek to improve the  overall quality of life and health of each Veteran who participates. Re-igniting and improving the warrior spirit.   

 

The specific objectives and purpose of this program shall be:

  1. Personally evaluate each participating Veteran and their goals, as well as their current mental and physical health.
  2. Utilize volunteer fitness and health professionals and knowledgeable Veterans to assess program members and  fine tune personalized exercise and meal plans to the veteran in order to retain interest and excitement throughout training. 
  3. Organize group and partner training sessions to help Veterans who have a hard time with self-motivation. 
  4. Educate each veteran with the shared knowledge of the both volunteers and health professionals in order to ensure each veteran is undergoing safe and effective training. 
  5. Educate each veteran with the shared knowledge of both volunteers and health professionals in order to ensure each veteran  is under going safe and effective treatment for pain management, injury prevention, and healing. 
  6. To use physical activity to help Veterans regain the fighting spirit they had in the military and develop a brotherhood community with the other program members 
  7. To be a coach, a big brother, and motivator to Veterans who enroll in this program. 


Leaving the military can be difficult, and with it, maintaining structures and routines that kept your physical and mental health in high spirits can be impossible. The ultimate purpose of the F.A.T. program is to help each Veteran re-ignite and grow the fire that burned within them during their  military service. You may feel lost, but each fire begins with only a spark. Regardless of how far gone you think you are, you're never too far gone for us.  


The unfortunate thing about the mental state of the Veteran when he or she leaves the military is that it is hard to find that same sense of purpose in the civilian world.  While traumatic experiences happen during service, those experiences are amplified when the Veteran completes their military obligation.  Whether it’s because there is no structure in the Veteran’s post service life or the Veteran moves back to their hometown losing the comradery filled atmosphere a duty station provides by serving side by side with your fellow Veterans, or because of PTSD / TBI / depression issues, many Veterans let their physical health deteriorate.  In returning to good physical health alongside those who have also served and have shared the same experiences, the Veteran’s mental health will be impacted in a positive manor. They will remember the fighting spirit that called him/her to serve their Country.

On behalf of all of us here at OCB, we appreciate you for supporting those who protect us. No one gets left behind.
