Best fitness advice? Be reasonable and try to stick to things that you like. Then you'll be more likely to stay with it. Set goals as well, even small ones. I set many small goals throughout each workout.

Anything you'd like to add about your service? I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to do this job. It can be extremely rewarding if you embrace it and work hard at it.

**Thanks Lt. Rob. I bet those bad guys wish you weren't in such great shape!
