How do you support the mission here? I work in the fitness center, trying to provide deployed Airmen with the best facility to meet and exceed their fitness goals. I teach a boxing class (Rock Boxing) on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1900 at the pavilion to further provide a variety of choices to facilitate our force's interests

How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my first time deploying and I am enjoying what I do more than ever.

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? I work at the flight kitchen at my home base and have never worked in the fitness center. I make sure flight line personnel have readily available meals.

I am very excited to be working at the fitness center, so any disadvantages the deployed environment might have are overshadowed. I thoroughly enjoy teaching the boxing class and am looking forward to everyday here on The Rock.
