Growing up, Bobby Lashley had the military lifestyle introduced to him at an early age, with his father being an Army Drill Sergeant.

Moving from one military base to another, the Lashley family eventually settled at Fort Riley in Kansas, where the future Destroyer would get his first taste of amateur wrestling.

Upon growing up, Lashley would follow in his father's footsteps, entering the United States Military in its Air Force division.

During his three years in the Air Force, Lashley would get a real knack for amateur wrestling, winning silver and gold medals at the International Military Sports Council's freestyle wrestling event.

These skills were later put to use in 2005, when Lashley joined the WWE, winning the United States Championship in 2006, and holding the ECW World Championship on two occasions.

Now back in WWE, Lashley is hoping to once again wear championship gold in the near future.
