During a special operations training accident, Brian was critically injured. He was told he would never walk again. But, six months later, Brian had rehabilitated with the help of CrossFit workouts. As he recovered from injury, CrossFit became a sport to Brian\u2013and one that he would excel at. He began training others in CrossFit soon after.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He was never going to walk again after the injury that happened during his special ops training, well, since he&#8217;s here on TAH, you already know it&#8217;s false. here&#8217;s what the National Personnel Records Center says about his career;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=36651\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-36651\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Brian-Stites-FOIA-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"Brian Stites FOIA\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-36651\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Brian-Stites-FOIA-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Brian-Stites-FOIA-349x333.jpg 349w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/Brian-Stites-FOIA.jpg 503w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>So his active service began on May 29, 2008 and ended on July 4th a few weeks later. So he really wasn&#8217;t ever a Marine because I&#8217;m pretty sure that you can&#8217;t call yourself a Marine unless you&#8217;ve completed your entry training. And oh, yeah, he says he was in the Marines in 2007 (I guess to make the injury thing credible). It was a real Marine who knows him that blew him into us. I can&#8217;t confirm it, but the Marine says he was booted from OCS because of hemorrhoids. But that&#8217;s just speculation without any real proof, but it makes the &#8220;never walk again&#8221; story pretty funny, doesn&#8217;t it? In that case, six months to overcome a bout with hemorrhoids seems about right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brian Stites is a Crossfit trainer with his own business and he has a hearwarming tale &hellip; <a title=\"Brian Stites; Crossfit phony Marine\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36649\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Brian Stites; Crossfit phony Marine<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36649\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
