After leaving active military service and transferring to the Navy Reserves, Dr. Morgan began his educational journey to become a Doctor of Chiropractic. While at Palmer College of Chiropractic-West, he transferred to a Naval Special Warfare platoon as the unit’s primary hospital corpsman. In 1985, Dr. Morgan received his Doctorate in Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic–West and soon after, married fellow Palmer graduate, Clare Pelkey.

In 1998, Dr. Morgan was chosen to establish the first chiropractic clinic at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, which later became Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. In 2015, Walter Reed recognized Dr. Morgan with its highest honor for clinical excellence, the Master Clinician’s Award. During the last 18 years at the military’s most prestigious medical centers, he practiced in an integrative setting, providing chiropractic care to the injured troops returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In the year 2000, Dr. Morgan was appointed as the Chiropractor to Congress at the U.S. Capitol.

The Military Mindset: Balancing Work And Fitness W/ Chandler Smith — Real Chalk #61

Chandler Smith (@blacksmifff) is making a name for himself in the fitness world while holding it down in the Army—except for one time he got his finger chopped off. (You bet that story is included in this episode!) But he's fine, and crushing it on the Misfit team at Wodapalooza. What does it take to be an athlete with a brand? We talk about the way the game has changed, being competitive while working a day job, and how sometimes you just need to fail until something works. Chandler gives us a glimpse into the influence Army training has had on his fitness career, and tells us what's next for him. It may not always love us back (injuries, bad judges, the new Games qualification format) but we've got a lot of appreciation for this sport and all the crazy people we get to do it with. Whether you're a failed athlete in another sport, or you peaked and needed a new outlet, or you're just a savage addicted to the pain cave, there's room for you. Now get out there and kill it! -Ryan 1:00 How the game has changed since Fisch's day (failed athletes and real jobs) 5:15 Chandler's training/school balance, transitioning from wrestling to CrossFit 8:00 Adapting to limitations (Tarzan and Jane) 9:30 Fisch's military aspirations and some backstory 14:30 How military training influences CrossFit, but also the toll on your body 20:00 Injury repair and maintenance 27:00 If you can't win the Games, build a brand 36:00 You may not be able to imagine your life trajectory yet, so just go do stuff 37:00 The things Ryan does to get a workout in 40:30 Chandler chopped his finger off, but it just stoked the fire 45:30 What's next? Don't hold your breath for a Army x CrossFit collaboration 47:00 We're all weirdos here.
