    My name is Christopher Kellum I am an infantryman in the Florida Army National Guard. I have been documenting my life since 2018 on CZcams in hopes to inspire others to pursue their dreams and goals. It started with Flight attendant vlogs and now has transitioned into Military and fitness content. I have been In the process of getting accepted to Flight school with the Army for 2 years now and I am currently working on getting a waiver/ clearance to go to flight school with a recent heart issue I found out about. My channel is going to encompass Travel, Fitness and Military so feel free to subscribe and join my team 😀
