Frequent Deployments

A Temporary Duty Assignment is commonly known to military members as a TDY. This is a way of life for many of us, regardless of our military branch. Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines - we all fulfill our obligatory duties at a moment's notice. One Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) in particular, is the true definition of a TDY: Air Force Flight Nurse.

In the picture above, Jena Meyer pushes through the CrossFit benchmark WOD, "Fran." Jena currently serves as a Captain in the United States Air Force as a flight nurse. Assigned to Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina, Jena has been on a four month TDY to Ramstein Air Base. In search of a CrossFit affiliate, she contacted us before she departed to Germany. Upon our first meeting, it was apparent that she was ready and willing to learn about CrossFit methodology. Between frequent deployments to the Area of Responsibility (AOR), Jena made sure that she got her 'WOD in' regardless of the situation.

CrossFit Ramstein can only hope that we have helped Jena in her quest for elite fitness. It is our belief that she will carry on her passion for CrossFit to wherever she may travel.
