MCLEAN, Va., – Military.com announced today that former Navy SEAL and fitness professional Stew Smith has joined the organization as their resident expert on Special Operations and regular contributor to Kit Up!, a Military.com blog about military gear and tactical information.
“I am honored to be a part of the Military.com team. Their reputation as a news and veteran benefits resource for military, veterans, retirees and families is unparalleled.”
Smith is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, a former Navy SEAL Lieutenant, and author of several fitness and self defense books such as The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness, Maximum Fitness, The Special Ops Workouts, and SWAT Fitness. Certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) and as military fitness trainer, he has trained thousands of students for the Navy SEALs, Special Forces, SWAT, FBI, ERT and many other law enforcement professions.

After almost eight years in the SEAL Teams and an instructor at the Naval Academy Physical Education Department, Smith resigned his commission in 1999 to start his own fitness and freelance writing business.
