If you're in the military...where are you? Green Bay, WI,

How often do you exercise? Almost every day

What type of exercise do you do? Running outside and on the treadmill, lifting weights, and a lot of push-ups.

What gets you to workout, even when you're feeling lazy? Knowing that I have to stay in good shape to pass my PT.

What's on your MP3 player? I don't use one; I like natural sounds.

Favorite healthy food? I like it when my fiance makes me healthy meals, because she knows that I wouldn't eat that well if she didn't make me. It's usually chicken or another lean protein, with brown rice, and some type of vegetable. Lately it's been asparagus.

Favorite not-so-healthy food? Pop-tarts, hot-pockets, almost anything. Oh, and the MRE's are pretty good. Just kidding!

Greatest fitness accomplishment? Making it through boot-camp, even though I came down with pneumonia half way through and had to stay an extra month.

How does fitness apply to your job? Fitness is everything to a Marine, it can make you and break you.

Best part of doing what you do? Knowing that I've made a difference.

Best fitness advice? Just stick to it, make a goal and keep it.

Anything you'd like to add about your service? It's a really hard job, but it's worth it 100%.
