The Spiritual Pillar
Background
The importance of Spiritual Fitness to the American warfighter has been recognized since the Chaplain Corps was officially created on July 29, 1775 by the Continental Congress. Spirituality is an individual conviction and expression of beliefs that give a person meaning and value. Spirituality can be expressed religiously as well as non-religiously.
The Air Force is dedicated to creating an environment in which people can practice their spirituality without prejudice. Mutual respect is an essential part of Air Force culture.

Spiritual Fitness Checklist
Increase knowledge in your faith
Exercise spiritual reflection/prayer
Find others with whom you can exercise your spiritual fitness
If other Airmen criticize your spirituality, don’t rush to judgment. Try to handle at the personal level and use it as an opportunity to discuss the importance of Spiritual Fitness and why it matters to you. Recognize that not everyone values the Spiritual Pillar and that, in the end, you may agree to disagree.*
*If unable to resolve & you feel your rights have been infringed upon, report the complaint to your chain of command, as appropriate.
