Title: Glen Coffee Update Post by: KoKoPuf on August 07, 2015, 09:20:51 AM Glen was always one of my favorites. One of a kind! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2015/08/07/glen-coffee-was-an-nfl-running-back-now-hes-on-the-army-ranger-school-staff/ Title: Re: Glen Coffee Update Post by: 2Stater on August 07, 2015, 01:02:07 PM He saw the light that most players don't, in the NFL. Glad he's doing well!

If you enjoy eating insects & worms raw, wading in & out of swamps in the heat or the cold, Ranger School is for you. Airborne Training is also at lovely Ft. Benning.
Quote Coffee enlisted with plans to join the Special Forces. That dream hasn’t worked out, but he is now a paratrooper assigned to Army Ranger School, which trains elite soldiers and has a third and final phase of training here in the swamps of Florida.

Thanks MD, but I was with the 82nd AB 1/508th before I went to 1/75th Rangers. RTR!

Believe it or not protein was the big thing at that time. One thing I can say though is that snipers will eat even more than what we did because they are at one one location without movement so anything crawling by is in danger. :worship: to them. RTR! |
