no128s Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good day to everyone… I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself to all my fellow Nerds out there.I am Ronin (or Jeff) and I have been working in and around fitness for my whole adult life. Now, that doesn’t’ mean that I am where I want to be… oh, shoot, let me start at the beginning. I have been in the US Army since 1989 and will be retiring transitioning in the next year and a half. I enlisted right out of high school and went to Germany. After a few years there I was selected for the US Army Special Forces. After all that training I spent quite a few years as a Green Beret. During this time I met and married my wonderful wife, who I hope to bring the NF one day. After a few more years, I was selected for the Army’s Officer Candidate School (OCS) and earned a commission as an officer in the Infantry. My growing family (now daughter and son) spent time in North Carolina, Alaska, Georgia, and now West Point, NY. I have been humbled to have led some of the finest soldiers in the history of our planet both at home and deployed in places like Iraq, Africa, and Afghanistan. Being a career soldier, fitness has been part of my life. However, since graduate school a few years ago, and finding myself NOT running around in the mountains of Afghanistan, or jumping out of airplanes, and more often than not stuck behind a desk for hours a day, my own personal fitness has declined. Here at NF, I see myself as a Ranger… I am one in real life, having attended the US Army Ranger School (and earning my Ranger Tab), but the idea of a general specialist really speaks to the type of fitness required of my profession. I look forward to interacting with everyone here and leveling up my own life along the way.
