The transformation is real! 🇺🇲
First, congratulations to on earning the title United States Marine! Let's take a look at the road he went down to do so..
Pvt Thelen began his journey weighing 307lbs, and working towards enlistment into the Navy. He would meet with their recruiters every so often to get a weight check and see if he could meet weight qualifications for enlistment. He was working out on his own without their aid or assistance.
One life changing day when coming in for his weight check, the Navy wasn't in the office. Thelen ran into in the hallway of the Armed Forces Career Center. After some small talk, Thelen decided to come hear a little about what the Marine Corps had to offer.
By the end of discussion, Thelen and Sgt Schmit had developed a clear path for his future with the ultimate goal of becoming a U.S. Marine. They got right to work on his weight loss goal together. He needed to get down to 227lbs to be eligible to enlist. Easy day. Through disciplined diet and exercise with the Marines, he enlisted shortly after at 226lbs. Before going to boot camp, he lost another 5lbs.
He graduated Marine Corps Recruit Training as a United States Marine with a final weight of 185lbs! A total of 122lbs lost. Great job on your accomplishments Pvt Thelen. I have a good feeling there will be many more to come. 🇺🇲
