As
Air Force Recruiting Service embarked on a Total Force Recruiting enterprise, a handful of Air Force Reserve Airmen began to matriculate here in early 2019, working side by side with their active-duty counterparts.
While the combination of these individuals has been powerful, it is highlighted by a pair of recruiters who take power to record-setting numbers in the gym and competing to improve themselves while breaking records along the way.
Senior Master Sgt. Michael Lear, AFRS Strategic Marketing Division superintendent, and Master Sgt. Daniel Bedford, AFRS National Events program manager, began working together in 2019. Both were accomplished powerlifters, although they had never met. They immediately began talking and checking each other’s knowledge.
A mark of greatness in anything is not only an outstanding individual or team effort at a certain moment in time but the ability to sustain that excellence over the long haul.
With that in mind, Gainesville s Tim T Moon has established himself, in a relatively short period of time, as one of the truly great bench pressers in the history of powerlifting.
Recently, Moon won his fifth straight Mr. Olympia Championship, one of the most prestigious titles in the powerlifting world; and he did it while pushing through injury and illness. Add to that, Moon s many National and World Championships across various weight classes, age groups, and federations, and he has undeniably secured his spot among the greats of all time in the sport.
