The Army Helped Me Harness the Power of Mindfulness
I received my first lesson on mindfulness in 1997 while lying in a field waiting for the Army to rescue me. I was a young captain attending the Officer Basic Course (OBC) at Fort Sam Houston, TX. Despite my rank, I knew little about being a soldier. This course was my first exposure to the “real” Army, and part of the experience was a two-week field training exercise (FTX).

Who is at risk for Drug Addiction?
Who is at risk for drug addiction? There are three main categories of people who are at risk for becoming addicted to drugs, including young people and adults. One of the first steps that treatment centers take is to identify who among their client population is at greatest risk for drug addiction. For example, if a person is young, they are at the highest risk for drug addiction as the brains develop at a faster rate during the teen years.
