    I am a military mom....my only son is in the Air Force since 9/2014, so still pretty new to me! That was a huge reason for me...I want to be able to travel & spend time with him wherever the USAF takes him. Plus, I want to make him as proud as he makes me!

    I'm none of the above, but I worked in DoD civil service for the Air Force for a decade. I've always had some level of healthy eating and fitness, but I kicked it into high gear in my late 30s. I just look better and feel better when I'm physically fit.

    Love it! I spent 5 years in the AF then transferred to the Army as a Logistics Officer. But that was back in the dark ages of the FIRST gulf war.

    Navy Chief here. Reserve, but just got back from Afghanistan and boy am I glad to be back. I imagine the bad guys don't have MyFitnessPal to keep them busy! Joined this because I had a fellow Shipmate have amazing results with this site and thought it would be a great motivational tool for me and others.

    Lol me too. Well my first two years in the Marines I was honor guard and I was quickly introduced to body building. Within 6 months I increased my pull-ups from 10- 23 and grew from 190 to 225lbs. While all this increase I was still able to run a 20min 3 mile. Once I completed this duty I went to Pendleton to my line unit and I was a saw gunner and had to keep my strength and cardio x10. After getting out of active duty I couldn't see myself losing what I worked so hard for. I currently stand at 6''1 230lbs. I'm here to chat with awesome people and get or give motivation.
