Research says that around 60 percent of the public use the beginning of a new year to try to make changes in our life. Unfortunately, only about 8 percent of those who make a New Year’s resolutions are successful in achieving them.

One of those positive but rarely successful changes is exercising and getting fit.

My story: Growing up, joining the military was one of the first goals I remember setting when I was 12 years old. In school, I ran long-distance and enjoyed mental/physical challenges. I hoped to enlist after high school. Turned out, life had different plans for me—an ACL reconstruction at 18 years old. A few years later I happened to mention to a friend that I was still interested in serving but was looking for a unit that was organized and competent. He recommended I talk to the 184^th recruiting team and I was blown away with that first impression. Out of all the recruiters I had spoken to from every single branch, the 184^th was the unit I was looking for.
