Delay in Deployment!

Jim — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 15:24:24 +0000

It appears that I’ll be delayed in my deployment to Iraq in December. We have been notified that we will not deploy until after the New Year. Good News!

I’ll be contacting Affiliates and Instructors next week to discuss possible training opportunities.

Talk to all of you soon!

Tempus Fugit

Jim — Sat, 29 Sep 2007 15:21:58 +0000

As the saying goes, time flies. I’ll be heading out to Iraq in the next couple of months. I have tried to reach all those of you who are affiliates, independant instructors, and students and communicate goals and strategies for the time that I’ll be gone.

If I have missed you, please don’t be offended; contact me as our member roster may be inaccurate. I’ll contact you immediately once you let me know.

In the time that I’ll be gone you can still contact our VP Master Roger Lewis for guidance and information. For membership and other instructional materials needs, please contact our Secretary General, Mr. Matt Munson. He’ll be able to take care of all your needs.

I hope to be able to talk with or train with most of you before I go. Once I am deployed, I’ll be sending back updates and pictures so interested folks can see what is going on with my third Iraq deployment.

Until then, Let’s Get Training!

We welcome Norman Vaden from Ft Worth, Texas to our Grappling family. He brings a wealth of experience and I for one and very excited that he is with us. He is currently a Level 2 Instructor under Frank Shamrock and works out of the LA Boxing Gym there in Ft Worth.

We will post his contact information on the Instructors page once we get it nailed down properly. Look for it!

I’m back

Jim — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 01:42:17 +0000

Well, I’m back from a long 7 weeks at Ft Benning. It’s good to be back home and at work. I’ll be going back to Iraq (for a third dang time) in a few short months, so it’s very hectic here.

I’ll be going to Matt Munson’s this weekend for some training and to meet some potential members to our organization. Matt and Pam always do things up nice so we will have a great time. If you are up for getting into great physical shape, you owe it to yourself to contact Matt and Pam at CrossFit Champions!

Out of the loop

Jim — Sat, 07 Apr 2007 18:12:52 +0000

Hello everyone!

As you can see, I have not posted lately. I have been training and in the field with my Army unit. We are preparing for yet another combat deployment to Iraq. I’ll be gone until the end of April and then will be going to a Professional Development course for 6 weeks in May. I’ll be back soon. Until then, keep training and get off the X!

Jim

Moving!

Jim — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 14:18:43 +0000

As you have seen, we are changing the look of our internet home. We have changed hosting providers as well. Please bear with us in the time being as we continue to improve our website and it’s features. We hope that these changes will benefit us all.

In time, we will have video training tips, an enhanced instructional section, more robust and functional shopping carts and more.

Please email our webmaster if you have comments or suggestions for improvement. You may also leave a reply on this post.

New ACAF site!
