Her billet at the Service Company uniform victim advocate also makes her a prominent role model to Marines under her charge and someone they can trust. Aside from adhering to the Corps standards of professionalism and leadership, Mosqueda-Chapman takes a personal interest in her physical fitness. She trains five days a week to maintain the rigorous physical fitness standards of the Marine Corps. As a team leader of a small team of Marines, veterans and military spouses at a local gym, she dedicates her time to being a role model to those aspiring to better their physical fitness as well. Her interest in physical fitness has led her to dedicate early-mornings and late off-duty hours to training in preparation for local bodybuilding competitions. Modqueda-Chapman began training in December 2011 for a show in April. Since then, she has set her sites on competing in the National Physique Committee's All Forces National Bodybuilding Championships, June 9, in San Diego, Calif.
