Patrick Boettger is on active duty with the United States Navy in the country of Behrain. While on a run in the middle of the desert, Patrick jumped off a two foot cliff and injured his ankle. With limited medical personnel on his base, Patrick had to endure pain for over three months before returning home to Illinois for a two week leave. Patrick found this to be his window of opportunity to get his ankle better, and overcome his injury. He began treatment at ATI Physical Therapy in Matteson, Illinois in order to return to duty.
