FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii - Powerlifting and the Army. These are two professions unto themselves – the latter is a profession of arms, while the other may use arms but of a different kind. Balancing both professions can be difficult; however, Staff Sgt. Edward Taylor found a way to make it work. Whether challenged by the Army or by the size of the weights, this Soldier illustrated that perseverance coupled with determination can glean top-place results.
