Global Gossip

Wanted to go ahead and say how excited I am to be here among others who hold personal fitness and nutrition to such a high standard. I was thinking this evening about what it is that I could express to everyone about working out while deployed, and with the Army in general, things you may or may not have known and I decided that a weekly blog would do wonders, not only would I be given the chance to show you around our location but maybe you will be able to get a feeling for what your fellow soldiers are doing on a day to day basis.

    A little about myself first so you can get to know me and maybe I can get to know a few of you out there as well. My name is Richard Greene, I’m 25 years old and have been serving with the United States Army for six years now. I have been deployed four times, better yet I have been deployed to Kuwait once and Iraq three times. As you will see from the pictures I post here with the next blog I am not a big guy, actually I am about 5′10′’, 183 pounds as of today and according to the Army I have a BF% of about 16.26%. But this write up is not about me, well this one was but the next one is going to be about soldiers staying fit in Iraq with the gyms and without. I will give you an inside look at the food we have to endure since Wal-Mart has it’s hands everywhere but Iraq I guess.

   I hope everyone had a good Easter, as for me I will be heading out now, gonna start getting the pictures ready so I can start letting all of you live in my world for awhile. If anyone out there ever has any questions please feel free to ask, you can send a message here or use my personal email address whichever is more convenient for you. I can’t want to talk to you all next week.

   From here in Iraq this is SGT Greene..over and out.
