I am SSG Ortiz I was born in Puerto Rico. I always dreamed about joining the US Army since I was a little boy. I struggled to achieve my dream failing the ASVAB several times because English is my second language and the test is in English. .

I decided to go to College to become a Paramedic. I have an Associate Degree in Emergency Medical Technician. I worked as a Paramedic for twelve years. I loved my job, I was very successful in my medical career, so the doors opened for me to be an Emergency Technician Instructor. An offer that I gladly accepted. .

But I never gave up on my dream. Remember what my dream was? To join the US Army. Well, I made a plan to achieve my goal and this time I wasn’t accepting any defeat. I studied, and studied and studied. And guess what? I passed! .

I joined our force in 2012 as (15R) Apache Helicopter Repair. I’ve been stationed in Colorado, Washington State and Texas. With the Army I had traveled to many different countries like Indonesia, Hong Kong and Japan among others. I also deployed to Iraq in support to the Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS. After my deployment I got promoted to Staff Sergeant and got my assignment to be an Army Recruiter, I love it so I fully converted to 79R. .

I’m actually pursuing my Bachelor Degree in Digital and Social Media Marketing at Southern New Hampshire University. .

I’m happily single now and have a 17 years son who is following my steps who wants to be an American Soldier too. I’m an animal lover, I am vegetarian. I have a beautiful Maltese dog called “Puffy”. My hobbies are fishing, hiking, outdoors and to go on road trips. .

I enjoy recruiting and love to help others to achieve their dreams of joining the US Army. -

I am very active on social media. You can follow me on Instagram @otz_tizzboy

I’ve been so busy traveling this month that my fridge is empty except for filtered water, and leftover gas station coffee. I started hitting the gym yesterday, I’m sick, I’m tired, and I have a shit ton of work to do this week in preparation for another trip. I’m not at all complaining because this is life, and I’m staying focused on my goals and making moves 🤘🏼.

Let get to work what everyone training today?? #armyfreshfitness #armyfresh #gza #gorillazoneathletics #laboratorymuscles #alphaasfuck #armystrong #livelaughlovelife (at Killeen, Texas)

I don’t normally count calories, or macros, but yesterday a friend asked me, “how many calories a day do you eat?” I had no idea what to tell him, and this is why. • I eat a shit ton of eggs, mixed greens, peppers, tomatoes, sauerkraut, rolled, or steal cut oats. I drink a lot of water, coffee, or tea, and I eat veggies with every meal. I eat dark chocolate, ice cream, popcorn, and drink red wine. I mainly eat chicken, and beef once a week (maybe). My added sugar intake is low (I eat mixed fruits and dark berries), I don’t eat a lot of fried foods, I stay away from fast food, processed foods, I rarely eat dairy unless it’s cheese, I don’t buy/eat bacon, or bread unless it comes with brunch. (I sometimes make my own bread) • I also maintain a vary active lifestyle usually working out twice a day M-F. So for me this diet works where I don’t need to count calories, or macros. Remember, everyones body and lifestyle is different, so you must find what works for you. Don’t define your success by confining yourself to a scale, and don’t starve yourself. Eat well, move your body and stay motivated! • Below is an average day of my nutritional intake with the meal ingredients attached to the photos. Some days the veggies/foods change and, I swear I don’t eat ice cream every day 😂 • Workout #1 0600, Moderate/intense Foot ball - 1 hour • Workout #2 1600, intense kettle bell/bodyweight/ calisthenics - 2 hours • Lunch snack: Dark chocolate 60 calories Almonds 200 calories • Night Snack at 2248hrs Ice cream 100 calories Popcorn 350 calories • Daily calories: 3250 • Subtract 2 workouts of calories . . . . . . #nutrition #welness #movement #fitness #food #eatclean #goals #health #bodyweighttraining #training #exercisemotivation #fit #armyfresh #militaryfreshfitness #physique #crossfit #yogi #yoga #fitspo #kettlebelltraining #tatted #mensphysique #paleo #calories #coreworkout #instalike #gymtime #gymshark #fitnesslife #bodypositivity (at Ft Polk Wheelock Fitness Center) https://www.instagram.com/stro_dos/p/By-od8ynR2r/?igshid=1cv6y01g36j5l
