I'm curious how many military people we have here. Active, reserve, or spouse.

    A big thank you to all who serve/have served!! Your dedication and sacrifice does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. <3

    I am a spouse to an Army Veteran who is currently in the National Guard.

    I am here because I used to be very active, but work over took my life and I became lazy as far as my old fun time of soccer and dance are concerned. I am taking back my freetime and hope to run marathons. A BIG hope...I can barely jog a mile now, but that's big progress from a month ago.

    Good luck to everyone on their journey!

    Ex-Navy, EN2, active from 13 Dec 1985 - 10 Nov 1992. Served aboard the USS Sellers (DDG-11) and the USS Ortolan (ASR-22). I stayed fit after leaving the military by working in construction, but a career change to the IT field put me behind a desk and I got lazy.

    Active, serving in the Australian Navy, joined to meet new people and challenge myself

    Man, I loved pulling into port and seeing an Aussie ship moored to the pier. You guys were a blast to hit the town with.

    Veteran Air Force, I am also inactive ready reserve until May 2016.
    Let myself kind of fall apart after I got out....my first civilian job was 14-16 hour days. No energy or time for working out, let alone eating right. I got a better job, as a contractor on an AF base and am slowly getting back to what I used to do.

    Army veteran 1991 - 1995! I'm 42 now & have kept in fairly good shape. Funny, I hated running when I was told to run, but now I love it!

    A big thanks to all who served and are serving and are preparing themselves to serve! Both my parents wer USAF and my bro was in the Marines. Been to a few air shows and seeing but most of all HEARING the sound of our fighter jets roaring overhead makes my heart swell with national pride! I love it.
    GOD BLESS AMERICA!

    EX RAF, was in shape whilst in, developed diabetes was told I had to leave, got depressed and then fat. Wasn't good in the long run so now I am only 2kg off my original RAF weight. So all good again. :smile:
